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 vaporiser without jumping straight to the Turbo. It gives you cordless handling, adjustable dosing and solid treatment speed without becoming a bulky bit of kit.

It uses accurate dynamic temperature control with a pre-set operating temperature of 230°C. The stainless steel frame, double-wall furnace and replaceable brass spout make it a proper field tool, not a fiddly gadget that lives in the shed.

A good middle ground if you’re treating more than a handful of hives and want something quicker than the Lite, without going all-in on the Turbo.

Choosing between InstantVap® models? Start with hive numbers, then battery setup, then speed.

Compact is the balanced all-rounder. Lite is better for smaller apiaries. Turbo is built for faster treatment and bigger hive runs.

Original 12V is best for beekeepers treating larger hive numbers who want steady cabled power from a 12V battery setup.
