Having a discussion with a co-worker brought this question up. If you have a 
flask designed to hold 8 ounces of water, with a specific vacuum wall 
thickness, would a flask designed to hold a half ounce of water with the same 
vaccuum wall thickness be just as effective in maintaining the water's temp?
