Experience professional-grade oxalic acid vaporisation in a lightweight, cordless form with the InstantVapĀ® 18V Compact. Built for performance, portability, and precision, this vaporiser is a must-have for hobbyists and semi-commercial beekeepers treating up to 60 hives.

āš™ļø Fast & Tool-Free Treatment
Treat hives in just 20–25 seconds using 2 grams of oxalic acid. Dispensing is smooth and precise with a roll-on adjustable dispenser (1–4g).

🌔 Dynamic Temperature Control
Automatically maintains the ideal 230°C (445°F) temperature for consistent, fast vaporisation - no overheating or cooldown required.

šŸ’” Intelligent LED Feedback System
Easily visible in direct sunlight:

  • šŸ”„ Slow Blink = Warming up

šŸ’” Who It’s For

Perfect for beekeepers treating 20–60 colonies who need:

  • Faster heat-up and recovery between hives
  • More power and precision than entry-level models
  • A mid-sized solution without compromising durability or ease of use

🧪 When to Treat with Oxalic Acid

Use vaporisation during low-brood periods for maximum mite control:

  • Late autumn or winter
  • After swarming or re-queening
  • During natural brood breaks

Oxalic acid doesn’t penetrate capped brood, so targeting the right timing is key to effective treatment - with zero residue and minimal disruption to your bees.


Compact by name, powerful by nature — the InstantVapĀ® 18V Compact brings you faster treatments, cordless freedom, and the reliable results beekeepers trust.
