Take a look at the features of our professionally engineered vaporizer which makes it superior to others on the market:
  • High-reliability heating elements are designed to yield literally tens of thousands of uses - this tool will outlast you! Competitors that tout replaceable heaters desire to sell you more stuff and can use lower quality components. Our business model is to sell this to you just once - and have you tell your friends about how great it is so that they buy one!

  • Dual heating elements for excellent and even heat distribution (beware - oxalic heaters with a large single heater off to one side tend to go too fast or have hot spots that cause either the oxalic to decompose or to boil so quickly that it spatters and doesn't actually vaporize, giving a false sense that you delivered the full dose)

  • 100% complete and ready to go out of the package
  • Comes with instructions

  • 3 minute cycle time (fully charged 12 volt battery) (we suggest waiting 4 minutes to be sure)

  • Takes up less storage room than other designs, yet reaches to the middle of the hive

  • Durable and made of only the best materials

  • Soldered, NOT crimped, electrical connections!

  • CNC machined aircraft aluminum bowl

  • Very flexible and long 9 foot cord made of 100% copper

  • Do you have a robbing screen or other small opening to your hive and don't want to take it off for an oxalic treatment? This unit is only 2 inches wide and 3/8 inch tall. It will fit through all robbing screens we have found, most others won't!

  • Holds up to 3 grams of oxalic acid with room to spare - enough for any hive

  • Lightweight, compact, a bit over 16 inches long

  • Every single unit is tested after the assembly process to ensure that it is 100% ready to go - no bad surprises when it gets to your house

  • Symmetrical design prevents bowl from wanting to tilt sideways and dump the contents when preparing or in use (we have had problems with the designs that look like a flag on a pole - yikes!)

  • Comes with a properly sized scoop for 1 gram of oxalic

  • Rust proof components

  • Pennies per use (oxalic is cheap!)
  • Varroa are less likely to generate resistance to oxalic vaporization than some other treatments
  • More features at a lower cost than other vaporizers = better value
  • Makes a great gift for the beekeeper in your life!
  • Designed in the USA! - Made in the USA! - Ships from the USA!
  • In the unlikely event that you have problems, you will be talking directly to both a beekeeper and the actual manufacturer!
What will you need to apply vaporized oxalic acid to your hives? Not a lot:
  • This vaporizer
  • Oxalic acid powder
  • 12 v battery - car, motorcycle, lawnmower, etc. We suggest a smaller one that can have a sling or similar fitted so that it can be carried like a purse or put it in the bottom of a five gallon bucket with all of your other supplies for an easy-to-tote system. You may also want a trickle charger. We offer an accessory kit as noted above that contains a battery and charger.
  • PPE (personal protective equipment) like goggles, gloves and respirator. Hook it up, stand back a long ways (upwind) and time out 4 minutes. Typically you can see the smoke vapors escape cracks, etc. during minutes 2 and 3. Be careful, the smoke is toxic to you too!
  • Knowledge on how to do it: Randy Oliver's scientificbeekeeping.com is a great resource. Just as an example: For each hive, after human consumption honey supers are removed, typically application of 1.5 grams per treatment, 3 treatments total, treatments exactly 7 days apart. But do the reading so you know what's going on...
  • Common sense! It's a precision tool that is meant to get very hot - so treat it with respect.

Note that colors may change and can be different than those pictured.
