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.

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.
