Haha more like S&S burn risk. The amount of ridiculous things I’ve seen MSHA citations for in my 11 years underground, I wouldn’t put it past them to cite a thermos lmao.

Curious how well the lock and latch work one handed or when dropped?

No, but I know they make extra long ones that come with sandwich cages, that may do what you want.

All of them have really nice double sided heating elements though, that’s their claim to fame.

Do you know which one specifically?

thanks!

Awesome!

MSHA approved.

Urnex Clearly Coffee is even better than denture tablets

Haha all the comments about this thing being too good are so accurate. It’s super nice to bring up to the ski hill and pour out some cups of spiked cider or something like that at the end of a nice day on the hill, but yea even after a day on the mountain I wouldn’t want to drink straight from the thermos. Pouring it into a cup and letting it cool down is pretty much the only way to use this magical piece of kit.

Mine is super beat up from using it underground when I worked graveyard shifts mining. Having a piping hot cup of coffee 6 hours into a 12 hour shift in a dark whole is a luxury unto itself.

Igloos can even handle the rinse at car wash. Super white

You want a Dualit.

just a brain fart typo

That’s why I’m here- just ordered a 20 oz mug. Not the exact one pictured but close. Thanks OP!

So it should. Zojirushi stuff is the shit

Great idea that I ashamedly hadn’t thought of.

Neutral is there specifically to handle small surges. Especially in wye configurations and neutral eventually goes to ground. Having it connected to both neutral and ground is a fail safe. No neutral goes to ground, surge too high for neutral goes to both or some large f-up voltage spike from neutral goes to local ground.

I’ve got two of these (one I lost and later found, and the other I bough during the former’s hiatus) and can confirm. These things are almost too good. I now cool any hot beverage off to ideal drinking temp before putting it in the Zojirushi and set off on my way.

Once I filled one up with coffee in the afternoon (maybe around 4pm) and stuck it in the fridge so I would have cold coffee the next morning. Well 7am rolls around and I open the thing up and the coffee was still fucking hot.

I’ve had hunting trips where I wasn’t able to enjoy my coffee during my sit because it was too hot the entire time.

If I had any complaints it would be that the finish can flake off over time, especially if you put them in the dish washer (yeah yeah yeah I know you’re not supposed to put the main body in the dishwasher but I do occasionally), but it’s just stainless underneath. Throw on some stickers, problem solved.

Thank you for the tips! I will give it a try. I was about to buy new one but this concerns me. If it can be cleaned up, definitely will buy more.

Thank you! What about when there's only one MOV between hot and neutral instead of a group of three, how does it pass that spike to ground? Or does it just pass it to neutral?

Denture tablets are specifically made to break up biofilms. I don't know if they're better as I've not used citric acid for that purpose, but I'd imagine so.

Ah, thank you! So when the protection light goes out, that's its way of telling you the clamping voltage is too high to be useful anymore?

I have to be very careful what temp i put my tea in, because thats the temp its coming out at

The Zoji is amazing. It keeps my water hot for two days.

It’s a pretty simple task. We received a broken one that just needed a drive gear changed out (only needed one specialty tool). I cleaned and lubed while in there (no specialty tools needed). It was a 2-3 hour process. I could do it again in an hour.

I use denture cleaning tablets. Fill with hot water, drop in all of the seals with two tablets, place the stopper and top up so the water is touching the bottom of the stopper. Let sit overnight and brush out in the morning. Though sometimes I put all of the plastic pieces in a separate container so they're fully submerged.

You could give that a try.
