Beekeeper-to-beekeeper support

The InstantVap® Lite is the lighter cordless option for hobby beekeepers and smaller apiaries. It’s slower than the Compact and Turbo, but that’s not really the point. If you’re only treating a modest number of hives, the Lite keeps things simple.

  • Good for smaller hive numbers.
  • Works well with lower-capacity batteries.
  • A solid choice if you want cordless treatment without buying a bigger unit than you need.

Product details

Details:

The InstantVap® Lite 18V is made for hobby beekeepers who want a simple cordless setup without overcomplicating things. It’s recommended for up to around 20 colonies and works well if you’re treating smaller hive numbers at home or on a small block.

It runs on 18V to 20V cordless tool batteries and works happily with lower-capacity batteries too. A 2Ah battery can treat around 8 to 10 colonies with 2g doses, including start-up.

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.

Frequently Asked

Who is the InstantVap® Lite best for?

The Lite is best for hobby beekeepers and smaller apiaries. If you’ve only got a handful of hives, it’s usually the sensible place to start.

How long does each treatment take?

A 2g oxalic acid treatment takes around 50 to 60 seconds once the unit is ready.

How many hives can I treat with a 2Ah battery?

Around 8 to 10 colonies can be treated with 2g doses using a 2Ah battery, including start-up.

Can I adjust the dose?

Yep. The dispenser adjusts from 1g to 4g without tools.

Are batteries included?

No. Batteries and chargers are not included.

Should I buy the Lite or Compact?

Choose Lite if you have a smaller setup and want a lighter, simpler unit. Choose Compact if you have more hives, want faster treatment, or expect your apiary to grow.
