    InstantVap® 18V Oxalic Acid Vaporizer (Original)

    The cordless, battery-powered oxalic acid vaporizer trusted by thousands of beekeepers for fast, effective Varroa mite control.

    Designed in Hungary and supported in the U.S., the InstantVap 18V delivers precise, 25-second hive treatments without the hassle of cords, compressors, or long setup times. Whether you're a hobbyist or professional, this vaporizer gives you power, portability, and peace of mind.


    🔑 Key Features

    • Cordless + Compatible: Use your own DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Rigid, or Bosch batteries (see details below).
    • Adjustable Dosage: Plunger adjusts from 1g–4g of oxalic acid.
    • Battery Protection System: Built-in safeguards to prevent damage or overloads.
    • Voltage Meter: Real-time power monitoring on every use.
    • Rugged Stainless-Steel Body: Built to last, with a replaceable stem.
    • Fast Treatments: Vaporize a full dose in just 25 seconds per hive.

    🔋 Battery Compatibility

    Batteries are not included. The InstantVap 18V works with the following battery types:

    • DeWalt XR or FLEX (20v or 20v/60v MAX) – NOT compatible with Powerstack
    • Milwaukee (M18)
    • Makita (18v LXT)
    • Rigid (18v)
    • Bosch (GBA/ProCore 18V)

    Recommended: Use 5Ah or larger batteries for optimal performance. Available at Home Depot, Lowe’s, or other tool suppliers.


    📊 Battery Life Estimates (at 65°F / Room Temperature)

    • Dewalt 20v 6Ah: Up to 22 hives (4g) / 44 hives (2g)

    🧪 When to Use Oxalic Acid Vaporization

    Oxalic acid vaporization is a highly effective method for controlling varroa mites — especially when applied at the right time. Like any treatment, its success depends on colony conditions.

    Oxalic acid targets mites that are riding on adult bees, but it can’t reach mites sealed under wax-capped brood. For this reason, it works best during periods when your hive is naturally broodless or experiencing a temporary brood break.

    Ideal times to treat include:

    • Mid-winter, when most colonies are broodless
    • After capturing a swarm
    • Following a natural swarm and requeening event
    • During a brood break (natural or induced)

    These windows give oxalic acid vapor a clear path to nearly every mite in the colony, making treatment far more effective and helping your bees thrive.


    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: Does the InstantVap 18V come with a battery?
    A: No, batteries are not included. The unit is compatible with major-brand batteries including DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Rigid, and Bosch. We recommend using 5Ah or larger batteries for best performance.

    Q: Can I use a Ryobi battery with InstantVap?
    A: Yes — we offer a Ryobi-to-DeWalt adapter that works with any of our DeWalt-compatible models (Original, Compact, or Lite). Just make sure you're using the DeWalt version of the vaporizer.

    Q: What kind of oxalic acid should I use?
    A: Always use an EPA-approved product like EZ-OX® Oxalic Acid, which is pre-measured and safe for use in beekeeping.

    Q: How long does it take to treat one hive?
    A: Each treatment takes about 25 seconds. The InstantVap is one of the fastest and most efficient vaporization tools available.

    Q: How many hives can I treat per battery charge?
    A: 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 dosage chart above for more estimates.

    Q: Is safety gear required?
    A: Yes. We strongly recommend wearing protective gear when vaporizing oxalic acid. Our top choice is the PD-101 Full Face Respirator, which offers full organic vapor and particulate protection.

    Q: What accessories do you recommend?
    A: The InstantVap Carry Case is a popular upgrade — it protects your unit during storage and travel, keeps your gear organized, and fits batteries, oxalic acid, and accessories. You can also add a Silicone Insulation Roof to increase efficiency in cooler temperatures, and our Ryobi Adapter for added battery flexibility.
