Actually that remains to be seen with the Rev2, at least I haven't seen anything on LN2 runs with it.

Don't expect much with it on LN2.

how to tell between better for dice or ln2?

the first one is really $50+ less than the second one...

The mass of the pot and what it is made of. What you want is a massive copper pot to help control swing. Temps will most likely bounce around a lot and be hard to keep it stable. Look at the F1 and then compare.

A lot complained about the first version as its not made with a metal tube, deralyn or something like that. Some cracked and split. I might be thinking of the GPU version of that, prolly am.

The Rev 2 has a Alum tube for walls (maybe Rev 1 also), but when LN2 hits Alum it gets very squirly, chew calls it Super Nova effect LOL.

Not sure if you can see the for sale section on XS, but this pot would be an great DICE pot and could be used for LN2 also.
