Our most premium solution yet for non-wooden hives — designed and machined in-house by Lorob Bees in Baltimore, MD.
This bracket features a smooth slip fitment for Hive-IQ boxes. Close the right and left doors to create a solid seal for oxalic acid. The fit is so secure that the vaporizer can stay hanging on the box during treatment — something that hasn’t been achievable with any other oxalic acid vaporizer solution for non-wooden equipment.
The perfect treatment for your insulated boxes starts here.
Clean fit. Quick setup. A product you can trust.
InstantVap Compact and InstantVap Turbo. Both seat against the bracket's stops, so the unit sits at the right depth and stays put.
InstantVap Original — the stem sits roughly 30% taller inside the bowl, so it won't seat. We're still working on a solution for Original owners.
InstantVap Lite — usable, but the stops weren't cut for it. The Lite's rounded, narrower front face can feel unsteady in the bracket, and it can be pushed further into the hive than it should go. Seat it gently and don't insert it past where a Compact or Turbo would stop.
One potential downside if you plan to go hands free: If you use a large battery on an empty/light hive, the leverage of the unit can lift the box from the bottom board. If your hives are light at time of treatment, place a brick on top or use a smaller battery.
Machined in Baltimore for the InstantVap oxalic acid vaporizers (Compact and Turbo). Manuals, quick start and cleaning for every model are on the InstantVap manuals page.

"I used to think this was too expensive for me. I went through every type and have definitely spent more than $500 on all the alternatives. I finally purchased an Instavap and I LOVE it! No clogging, no heavy battery, no overheating torches. It’s Convenient, simple, quick, a surprisingly big blast of OAV. Lots of dead varroa. Now I feel confident that I have Healthy bees going into winter!"
"Fantastic product"
