The dewar I have now is classified as a pressurized dewar. It is designed to build and maintain 22PSI. I can usually start dispensing immidiatly after it is filled. As for dispensing I looked at the hoses they sell to dispense then went to a hardware store and purchased a flexible 1/2" gas line and it fit perfectly to the valve.
Yeah Jeff I was talking with my friend at Airgas yesterday and he told me about the differance between the different types of Dewars, I did not know that yours was a high pressure one.

Mine is a low pressure and takes awhile to get LN2 out of it after I fill it up, ticks me off actually.
