A little bit of showing off, and a little bit of praise for an amazing company.
Up until recently I had been renting a liquid nitrogen dewar for my cryogenic treatment of blades. The cost to do so was silly at less than $10/month....but the cost to fill it, as I learned, from the place I was renting it was costing me nearly twice what I could it filled for at other places in town.
Additionally, I wanted a slightly larger dewar with a slightly wider neck. I looked and looked and the things were just crazy expensive....much less I couldn't find what I wanted.
I ultimately found International Cryogenics, Inc. and their dewars were the best value I could find. I was tossing around between two different models. I got a very nice lady on the phone who helped me design my own custom dewar and unbelievably it was only $25 upcharge to have the things customized. I still can't believe it.
I ended up with a dewar with a 16" interior depth from the bottom of the neck to the bottom of the chamber. This allows my slow as snail butt more time between fill-ups...perfect for my hobbyist nature. Evaporation in any dewar is a killer, so having added depth allows more time.
Neck was the right size, depth was on point....and the price was great for a Made in the USA product. Great, great company International Cryogenics is.....I definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to get their own dewar.
p.s. I paid full price for mine and will get nothing in return....I just want to give credit when it's due.
