Unless you are using 8-10 "K" sized tanks per week every week, it isn't worth the time and expense, not to mention that liquid oxygen dewars have to be delivered by the oxygen company and they usually do not deliver to residential addresses.

You use the same regulator as with gaseous oxygen. You set your regulator exactly the same.

An average liquid dewar will last about 4 weeks, even if you don't use it - the tanks will vent oxygen once they reach the vent pressure internally - it is very definately use it or lose it.
