January 24, 201214 yr I searched for a thread like this, but can't seem to find any. I know there is one (or more) on XS, but I figured now that I've fallen back into the misery where I have to negotiate and pay for my own LN2, I might as well moan about it so everyone can see. So, the question: how much do you pay for your LN2? My current deal runs at 22 SEK + VAT per liter, working out at a nice sum of 27.50 SEK, which in its turn is... 3€. I was much happier when I had someone pay for my LN2.
January 24, 201214 yr I bought my 50L dewar for something like $150 - then found out shipping was $150 as well. I worked my price down to $.50/Liter, so a fill usually comes to just over $25 including taxes. I drive an hour and a half round trip to get it. Edited January 24, 201214 yr by I.M.O.G.
January 24, 201214 yr AGA, backdoor connection LN2 is free, "borrowing" a dewar is around 15 Euros per week Edited January 24, 201214 yr by TaPaKaH
January 24, 201214 yr About 1 Euro/Liter in Austria. You can get it from the universities this cheap, but you have to own a dewar. Well, it's better anyway because it pays back quickly and you don't have too much stress using it. LN2 is much more expensive when you buy it from a company (here). But when you need a few hundred liters a year, you can negotiate a better price. Delivery is out of reach!
January 24, 201214 yr 5CHF per lt =4.15 eu my dewar 30lt = 150CHF and need wait 2 weeks to have it then drive for 45minuts and wait there +1 hour to have a full dewar. in italy i got it for 120eu for 200LT monthly, free delivery free dewar. Edited January 24, 201214 yr by Hiwa
January 24, 201214 yr here in Brazil it's about 4 Euro/liter + 22 Euro dewar rent/day (~30 liters dewar)
January 24, 201214 yr I get it from the uni at about 2€/L, but if you have to buy it elsewhere - I've heard 5-7.50€/L.
January 24, 201214 yr 1 USD = 31,6886 RUB 1 EUR = 40,4061 RUB In Novosibirsk 1L LN2 costs about 10 RUB 17L LN2 = 170 rub = 5,3 USD = 4,2 EUR I love Russia

January 24, 201214 yr $0.50/L here. Don't take the first price if you're a bargainer. I went from $6/L at Airgas to $1.75 after talking them down. Then I went to a local welding shop and talked them down to $1/L. After using a friend's receipt (from a different region) at my Airgas I convinced them to honor $0.50/L. Same Airgas, same people. It's all in how nice and how persistent you are, with a little luck thrown in for good measure. EDIT - Forgot to mention that's with my own 30L dewar. I can rent a 180L for something ridiculous like $1.75/day plus $5 delivery charge. Those are rough figures but you get the point...I like my local Airgas. Edited January 24, 201214 yr by hokiealumnus
January 24, 201214 yr In Finland we still pay 8€/liter + dewar (5€/day). So take 60kg and pay 471€ for it http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/350635/august-17-2010/newsweek-ranks-the-world-s-best-countries Yeah, we are the best, cause we pay more than others ..right?
January 24, 201214 yr I pay 25 euro to fill a 32L dewar (got 2). Have to drive ~ 20 minutes to get there.

They probably charge by the weight of the guy picking the LN2 up. Or maybe it's some sort of government scheme. Extra tax on LN2 to boost healthcare. Or something. Btw, I have my own dewars, if I didn't, I'd have to pay rent + handling fee each time, heard the handling fee is ~€50 every time...
January 24, 201214 yr 0.8-1.0 USD per liter, including delivery. Dewars are my own. St-Petersburg, Russia.
