Compact Complete Package (InstantVap Compact)

A Ready-to-Go Oxalic Acid Vaporiser Kit for Beekeepers Treating Several Apiaries

Treating hives with oxalic acid vapour is the quickest way to knock back varroa between brood cycles, but it only stays quick when you have the right gear in one bag. The vaporiser, the respirator, the acid and the fittings usually arrive from four places, and one missing piece stops the day. The Compact Complete Package is the whole setup in one order, aimed at mid-scale beekeepers who want a balance of portability and faster heating performance.

It includes the InstantVap Compact vaporiser, a protective full face mask, 1kg of oxalic acid and silicone tubes. Treat a home apiary or move between several sites with one kit.

InstantVap Compact: Cordless on a Battery You Already Own

The vaporiser runs on an 18V or 20V power tool battery, so there is no generator and no cord to trip on. Choose your socket at checkout from Einhell Power X Change, Milwaukee M18, Metabo 18V, Bosch GBA/ProCore, Hikoki/Hitachi, Ridgid, AEG, Dewalt XR, Makita LXT, FlexVolt and Parkside X20V-TEAM. Ryobi users choose the Ryobi option, which includes a DeWalt to Ryobi adapter. Batteries and chargers are not included, and one socket type is supplied per package.

What It Does

The temperature is pre-set to 230°C and cannot be set incorrectly. Each 2g dose takes 20 to 25 seconds, with LED feedback for warming, ready, vaporising and low battery. The body is acid-resistant stainless steel with a tool-free 1 to 4g dispenser, and the 6mm brass spout is replaceable. It needs a 6.5mm hive hole to seat and dispense correctly. It carries a 2 year warranty plus post-warranty repair.

As a guide, the unit needs about 1Ah to warm up and then roughly 10 treatments per additional 1Ah, so an 8Ah battery delivers around 70 hive treatments.

Full Face Mask

Oxalic acid vapour is corrosive to eyes and lungs. The full face respirator seals your whole face, so no separate goggles are needed, and it uses cartridges rated for acid gases and organic vapours. Perform a seal check before every treatment, and replace cartridges straight away if you taste or smell oxalic acid.

Silicone Tubes and 1kg Oxalic Acid

The silicone tubes come as a 5 piece pack in flexible, bee-safe silicone for polyfoam hives, helping with hive temperature, ventilation and moisture, and they are easy to fit and clean. The 1kg of oxalic acid means you can start treating on the day the kit arrives.

Safety, Compliance and Delivery

Always wear a respirator, chemical-resistant gloves and long sleeves when vaporising, and follow the product label and APVMA permit conditions for oxalic acid. InstantVap products are available for online purchase only, and delivery takes 3 to 4 business days.
