The InstantVap 18V is a cordless oxalic acid vaporizer trusted by thousands of beekeepers. It treats each hive in about 25 seconds, with no cords, compressors, or generators required — just your own 18V tool battery.
Designed in Hungary and serviced in the U.S., the InstantVap 18V runs on your own 18V tool batteries (sold separately), so there's no cord or external compressor to haul between hives. Preheat, load the plunger with oxalic acid, and treat each colony in seconds. The stainless-steel build holds up to repeated use, and the built-in voltage meter gives real-time battery feedback.
Insert a fully charged 18V battery. Allow the unit to preheat to 445°F. Fill the plunger with 1–4 grams of oxalic acid and insert the stem through a ¼-inch drilled hole or the hive entrance. Tap the plunger to release the oxalic acid, which vaporizes immediately. Each hive takes approximately 25 seconds to treat. Monitor the voltage display throughout, and wear appropriate protective gear, including a vapor mask.
Battery Tips: Use 5Ah or larger batteries for best performance. For cold weather treatments, the optional silicone insulation roof can boost efficiency by up to 20%.
