    Help with valves for a dewar

    Thanks Dan. At this point I'm strongly considering getting rid of the dewar. I'm afraid that being uninsulated, it's not going to be useful (and may eveen be dangerous, as ianuts suggests). I need something that wouldn't lose more than 25% over the course of several days. It also seems to me...
