Where can I get a VERY large vacuum insulated container? 10 points!!!?
I have been searching for a LARGE vacuum insulated container. I want one that is about 2.5 to 5 liters. (larger if found under $50). I can't seem to find one anywhere and the largest I have seen is 1.9 liters, which is a little to small. I'm using it to transport and temporarily store liquid nitrogen (you can use a thermos for this). It must be vacuum insulated, and either steel on the inside and out, or glass on the inside and steel on the outside. It can be a thermos, beverage dispenser, or any other type of container that meets my criteria. NO PLASTIC! IT WILL FREEZE SOLID! If someone could send me a link for one, I would appreciate it. I am really only looking to spend $50 or less. Also, if someone could find a place that I could rent a dewar flask (5 liters to 10 liters) in South Jersey, that would be even better!!! 10 Points to best answer!!! Thanks!!!
I don't think you guys understand my question. And I didn't just re-post my otjher question, I rephrased it. What I want is NOT a dewar, they are obviously too expensive. I want something that can i can substitute a dewar for, such as: a large thermos, or something like it. And the second thing thing was that I would rent a large dewar if it was possible, not buy one.

This is what you want if you mess with LN2. I say this because I use it everyday in my job to keep EDX (energy dispersive X-ray) units cooled.
While you're at it, be sure to get a face shield and some cryogenic gloves in case you spill a bit on you. You can get frostbite very quickly AND it ain't a good thing to get into your eyes!!!
Please let me point out something to you regarding safety of LN2. If you think you can put this into a thermos and be safe, you are very wrong. If you cork this stuff up in a thermos bottle and there is no relief valve for it, or the top of the thermos freezes over and won't allow gas to escape, do you know what you have then? A BOMB!!!! Yes, it will explode and likely either hurt you or someone else very badly or even kill somone! Also, as others have mentioned, get this stuff in a closed space and you will asphyxiate as it will displace all of the oxygen in that closed volume!!
If you are going to mess with LN2, PLEASE get the proper equipment to handle it and read up on safely handling it. The life you save, might be your own!!

"Dorian Gray" as Wilde actually wrote itThis book has everything (cue Stefan voice from "SNL's" "Weekend Update"): a first lady whose frozen embryos are fetus-napped; a rape-victim protagonist who can't deal with her boyfriend's penis "snake"; frozen heads in liquid nitrogen tanks, and more! and more »
