Those big dewars are pressurized (because they haev a withdrawal system) and have a HUGE static loss compared to a lidded container. If you didnt use the 160L at all it would last ~10 days maybe a little longer. Probably no more than 2 weeks though. On the other hand a dewar like my taylor wharton with a foam lid has held 10 Liters for almost 2 months
