You should just get Karmakazi's, he'll make you a lid.

I don't see any reason not to get it, if you need a dewar this one is probably perfect. It's around 30-35L, so it's enough for a good session for some hours. I just made a lid myself, ln2 stores really well without lid too. But a LID is nice for transportation

I had my thermos filled with ln2 over the night without a cap on, still there was more than 50% of the ln2 left.

nice price, but that looks a little scary to me Worse case is you lose $250 bucks, best case is you get a hell of a good deal if the seals are intact.

I know my 35 is a bitch to carry from the car, up 8 steps and into the house lol thankfully it came with a trolly which helps part of the distance

Yeah my 50L weighs in at 150lbs when full. I need help getting it out of the car safely as I do not want to drop it LOL.

It has a roller stand so after that its np.

I am glad it has a pressure top as tipping a 50L to fill a thermo is not something I would want to do. A 35L migth be better for tipping, I dont know.

But we don't all live somewhere that's only 10 degrees warmer than the LN2, Kriz.

$75 for a shipped dewar with a lid? Heck, if you guys don't want it, I'll bid on it if it stays cheap. If I keep getting small dewars I'll eventually have the equivalent of a 160L. Isn't it a truism that the ugliest, most beat up looking dewars have the best seals?

Lids dont seal the dewar. It would explode if u did that. They have to breath so lid on or off dontmake much of a differance in evap. Now if the lid is off an you have a fan blowing across the top of it the evap would be alot greater.

Here is my ghetto ass lid I made out of a pool noodle an a thermos cap





Pool noodle, I already had one.


An if u dont think a dewar will blow up put a condom on the top an c what happens lol
