InstantVap 18V Lite

InstantVap 18V Lite – Professional Battery-Powered Oxalic Acid Vaporizer

Do you want to treat your bee colonies against the Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) quickly, effectively, and without unnecessary effort? The InstantVap 18V Lite battery-powered oxalic acid vaporizer is a practical solution for beekeepers looking for a reliable device for modern bee care. Sublimation, or vaporization of oxalic acid, is one of the proven methods for Varroa mite control, and when used correctly, it does not carry the risk of resistance typical of some other active substances. You can treat one colony in approximately 25 to 30 seconds, which significantly saves time when working in the apiary.

Freedom of Movement Without Unnecessary Cables

With the InstantVap 18V Lite vaporizer, you no longer need to carry heavy car batteries, deal with extension cords, or use a noisy generator. The device is powered by standard 18V cordless tool batteries. In its basic version, it is compatible with affordably priced ParkSide® X20V-TEAM batteries. If you use batteries from other brands, such as Makita, Bosch, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Einhell, and others, a suitable adapter can be used. Alternatively, the device can be custom ordered with a base for a specific battery type; the delivery time for these modifications is approximately 6 weeks.

Precise Temperature Regulation for Effective Vaporization

Correct temperature is essential when applying oxalic acid. At low temperatures, insufficient vaporization occurs; at excessively high temperatures, the acid can decompose and the effectiveness of the treatment decreases. InstantVap uses dynamic temperature regulation that helps maintain optimal working conditions even in cold, windy, or autumn weather. The dosing mechanism and acid reservoir are well insulated, so the device operates consistently and quickly. The equipment also includes a deep discharge protection circuit that automatically shuts off the device when the voltage drops to 15.4 V. You can continuously monitor the current voltage status on the built-in indicator.

Durable Stainless Steel Construction and Easy Maintenance

The device frame and the integrated quick dosing mechanism are made of solid acid-resistant stainless steel. The ergonomic design facilitates handling and helps keep the device stable even when working with the hot vaporizer. An important component is the straight brass outlet tube with a diameter of 6 mm. Thanks to its bend-free design, the risk of clogging is reduced, and if needed, the tube can be easily cleaned along its entire length. The nozzle is also replaceable, which extends the overall lifespan of the device.

Adjustable Dose with a Single Press

The InstantVap 18V Lite is equipped with a quick dosing mechanism with an adjustable dose ranging from 1 to 4 grams of oxalic acid. This allows you to adjust the dose to the strength of a specific colony and the chosen treatment method, all without the use of tools. The application itself is performed with a single press, which speeds up the work and minimizes the beekeeper's contact with fumes. The device is designed and manufactured in Hungary, offering European craftsmanship and good availability of spare parts.
