That one looks nice, should one be concerned with the rivets through the pot & handles? Potential air leaks maybe?
Maybe, but mine holds 29.9 for a couple days with no loss. I did a lot of research on other sites before I picked this one up, it works really well especially for the price and hooks right up to a vac pump.
Do you feel the lid isn't thick enough? Just want to be sure that i get a good chamber. I wouldn't be using it all the time. Mostly to do a few runs every once in a while. That have some other interesting chambers on ebay.
I'm thinking you will have to replace the tubing. when you pull a high vac it will pinch in on itself.
I picked up a vac it pro 2.5 gallon. Many people seem to use these just fine. I did hear from somebody that the lids will crack over time. Was told not to worry about it unless i am using it all the time. Now i am looking for a new pump.
Thinking about picking this up.

Just got a two stage vacuum pump 5 cfm on sale $170. But I just got a 1.9 cf vac oven. In mint for 800
hey jibbman, i got my jb platinum 7 cfm 15 micron pump for $200, its pretty bad ass. i finally found a good larger chamber that actually holds a 30hg vacuum for 2 days with my pump turned off. i had been through 2 of them because they were leaking where the valve went into the lid. the new one uses a custom manifold instead, and that really works
