Pairs well with
A heat-resistant silicone tube for the InstantVap outlet tube. On polystyrene and poly hives (Apimaye, Hive-IQ, poly nucs) the bare hot tube can melt the entrance or vent it rests in; the silicone keeps the heat off the plastic. Useful supplement for poly hives.
How to fit it
- With the vaporizer cold, pull one silicone tube onto the outlet tube.
- Trim it with scissors so it stops just short of the end of the tube. It must not protrude beyond the tube — if it overhangs, oxalic acid crystallizes in the end of it.
- Treat as normal. Pull it off to clean the tube; it goes back on in seconds.
Contains 10 pieces of silicone insulation. Colour varies. Compatible with all InstantVap vaporizers.

Excellent! Exactly what is needed for non-wooden hives!
"I bought these to use with my Apimaye hives. They give me the option to use one of the vents OR go in from the bottom entrance and they work very well for both applications! The fit tight enough to stay in place even after they heat up. Perfect solution for my application!"
This Will Work!
"I needed something around the copper tube of my InstaVap Lite to keep it from melting the opening on my polystyrene hive when administering OAV and I think these little silicone insulation tubes will do the trick."
Works on the Hive IQ
"Easy to attach and remove. It keeps the vaporizer from melting polystyrene hives."
