Default How to tell if dewar isnt filled all the way

Is there a way without wasting ln2?
Keeping track of use minus your dairly loss I guess is the best way beyond weighing it empty first.

Pretty sure they filled me up about half way today while I waited for it. It was way too light or I had testosterone shot in my coffee this morning

Without a scale or taking the extractor off and visually inspecting, your screwed dood. Man do I wish you lived out here. That would be one of a great many less probs you would have. The U of A cryogenics dept is awesome and .82/L ftw.

I've seen guys quit after it starts splashing out the top, especially if dispensing at a high rate. The knowlegable one's will slow down the flow to get a complete fill.

In my case I back up to the station with my truck and unload the dewar there...saves both of us from lugging it far. We both stand there and shoot the shit while it is filling.

Same thing I do.

In fact, that little turnbuckle screw thingy broke off of mine, so I have to use a rachet and socket to open and tighten down the collar. Since he doesn't want to deal with that I have the job of taking off and putting the dispenser and collar back on - birds eye view if he's trying to screw me PS. Quarter inch course thread nut fits the turnbuckle perfectly

Yeah Splig, those dollys with wheels are cool, I still got stairs to deal with though
