Beekeeper-to-beekeeper support

The InstantVap Compact is a cordless oxalic acid vaporiser for regular varroa treatment. It sits neatly between the Lite and Turbo, with good speed, simple dosing and a battery socket to suit the tools you already use.

  • More capable than the Lite.
  • Less full-on than the Turbo.
  • A good fit if you’re treating enough hives that speed matters, but you do not need the fastest model.

Product details

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.
