Details
The InstantVap® Compact 18V is the practical cordless model for beekeepers who want a capable oxalic acid vaporizer without going straight to the Turbo. It gives you cordless handling, adjustable dosing and a 20 to 25 second treatment time for a 2g dose.
It uses accurate dynamic temperature control, with a pre-set operating temperature of 230°C. The stainless steel frame, double-wall furnace and replaceable 6mm brass spout make it a useful field tool, not a fiddly bench gadget.
