InstantVap Lite 18 Volt cordless battery powered oxalic acid vaporiser

InstantVap devices are battery-powered oxalic acid vaporisers used in beekeeping to treat Varroa mites. They are designed to deliver oxalic acid in vapor form into the hive, which kills Varroa destructor mites without harming the bees.

There are various models, like the InstantVap Compact (for commercial and professional use) and the InstantVap Lite (for hobbyist beekeepers with smaller apiaries).

This InstaVap Oxalic Acid Vaporiser Compact is a lower-priced alternative to the Original Instavap but with the same heating capacity. It is designed to quickly vaporize oxalic acid inside the hive to kill varroa mites on the bees. It's an innovation in oxalic acid vaporisers.

• Effective mite control that’s safe for bees and leaves no harmful residues
  
• Fast and efficient, ideal for treating multiple hives quickly
  
• Cordless freedom makes them perfect for remote apiary locations

• Cordless operation using common 18V power tool batteries (like Makita, DeWalt, etc.)
  
• Precise temperature control for consistent vaporisation
  
• Fast treatment times – depending on the model used, between 15–120 seconds per hive
  
• Ergonomic, durable design – often made from stainless steel
  
• LED or Display indicators for heating, treatment, and battery status
  
• Adjustable oxalic acid dose (commonly between 1–4g per treatment)

No, batteries are not included. It's compatible with major brands like DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Ridgid, and Bosch. Use 5Ah or higher batteries for optimal performance.

Yes! Just use our Ryobi-to-DeWalt Adapter if you're using the DeWalt-compatible version of the Compact.

Always use a registered, beekeeper-safe product Api-Bioxal.

Yes, a quality respirator is essential. We recommend the 3M Respirator 7500 Series Mask with the 60923 model 3M Cartridge for Respirators.
In addition eye protection with Protective Glasses and Disposable Safety Nitrile Gloves.

Depending upon the model chosen, the amount of oxalic acid and ambient temperature the time will vary. However approximately, each treatment takes about 15 seconds for the Turbo, 25 seconds for the Compact and 60 seconds for the Lite. The InstantVap is one of the fastest and most efficient vaporisation tools available

This depends on the battery and dosage used. For example, a 6Ah DeWalt battery can treat up to 22 hives using 4g doses, or up to 44 hives with 2g doses. See the full comparison chart above for more estimates.
