InstantVap® 18V TURBO

The all-new InstantVap® 18V TURBO has arrived — faster, smarter and more powerful than ever. Building on the success of the Compact, the TURBO makes vaporizing oxalic acid in beehives even more efficient, with a high-power furnace, dynamic temperature control, and a smart LED interface for large-scale, reliable treatment.

New Turbo design

This model delivers quicker cycles, around 13 seconds per 2g dose, and precision control. With an easy-to-read LED display showing temperature, battery voltage, cycle counters and status lights, the Turbo is purpose-built for professional beekeepers needing speed in the field.

Built for field use

The Turbo combines strength and practicality, including a stainless-steel, acid-resistant frame, replaceable 6mm brass nozzle, double-wall furnace for cold and windy weather, and built-in over-discharge battery protection.

Cost per application

It is extremely cost-effective per application. Oxalic Acid costs less than 2 cents per hive for a 2 gram dose, based on bulk pricing. Treat thousands of hives for just a few dollars in materials.

Check out our InstantVap Operational Guide for more info.

Temperature control

The vaporizer bowl temperature is very important to maximise the output of the Oxalic Acid without degrading it. Extensive lab testing shows that keeping the bowl temperature between 230 and 260 degrees Celsius is best.

Applications & suggested dose rates

For beehives with solid bases, apply 2g of OA vapour at the bottom entry. Block the entry with a wet towel for 5–7 minutes.
For vented bases, use a vent blocker sheet, then follow the same process.
For hives with difficult-to-seal vented bases, apply 3g from the top via hive mat notch or excluder door/notch. See our stainless steel excluders with entry.
If the hive has a top feeder with a wooden rim, many beekeepers are applying the vapour through the rim directly below the feeder tray and into the bee space. Drill a 6.5mm hole in the rim on a slight downward angle to direct the vapour below the feeder tray. Plug with a golf tee or similar between treatments.
Through-the-wall dosing: drill a 6.5mm hole in the brood box and insert the brass nozzle. Plug with a golf tee or similar between treatments. It is best to locate the hole as high as possible at the side of the front plate so the vapour is directed alongside the outer frame. This method is the least desirable of the 5 options.

Important nozzle spacing note

There should be 80mm to 100mm of free air space in front of the nozzle during discharge. Otherwise, 10%–20% of the oxalic acid will solidify on a surface that is right in front and too close.

This special package gives you everything needed to get your commercial vaporisation setup underway, while saving compared with purchasing the main components separately.

Fast Treatments with Consistent All-Day Power

The InstantVap Turbo is the fastest and most powerful InstantVap yet, delivering a 2g dose in approximately 13 seconds.

Commercial beekeepers using the Turbo report that it is around twice as fast as previous InstantVap models.

A fast vaporiser needs a power source that can keep up. That is why the Turbo has been paired with the high-capacity 18V 60Ah Battery Pack.

Its 60Ah capacity is roughly equivalent to carrying four to five large 12–14Ah power-tool batteries.

Why the 60Ah Battery Pack Matters

As an individual power-tool battery begins to run flat, the Turbo can take longer to recover between doses. Across hundreds or thousands of hives, even a small increase in treatment time can add significantly to the beekeeper’s total labour cost.

When multiple individual batteries are used, this performance drop-off happens repeatedly — once near the end of every battery. With the 60Ah Battery Pack, you receive steady, consistent power for much longer, with the drop-off occurring only once when the large pack finally reaches the end of its charge.

This means fewer interruptions, fewer battery changes and more time spent treating hives.

Designed Around Commercial Beekeeping

For commercial operators, efficiency is about more than the speed of a single dose. It is about how quickly the team can move through an entire apiary without unnecessary stops, equipment changes or waiting for batteries.

Teams using two Turbos will often place the Battery Pack on the ground rather than wearing the harness. One Turbo can be positioned beside one pallet and the second beside the next pallet. The operator can then move between the pallets and work efficiently around the four hives.

If one beekeeper wants to carry and use two separate Turbo setups, a second Battery Pack can be purchased. Both packs can be placed in a suitable heavy-duty backpack, providing a practical mobile twin-Turbo arrangement.

A Battery Pack for More Than the InstantVap

The 60Ah Battery Pack is available with connections for DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita and AEG power tools. This makes it a versatile power source for other compatible cordless equipment used around the apiary, workshop or farm.

Potential beekeeping applications include:

Bee blowers when clearing bees from honey supers
Weed eaters and line trimmers around apiary sites
Drills and impact drivers for assembling or repairing hive boxes
Nail guns for hiveware production and field repairs
Saws, grinders, lights and other compatible cordless tools

Respiratory Protection

Appropriate respiratory and eye protection must be worn when vaporising oxalic acid. Respiratory masks are not included in this package and should be purchased separately if required.

Take Advantage of This Special Package

Combine rapid Turbo treatment times with long-lasting, consistent 60Ah power and receive 2kg of oxalic acid FREE.

A complete, specially priced vaporisation package developed for beekeepers who need to treat more hives in less time.

Actual operating time will vary depending on dose size, workload, tool power draw and operating conditions. Always follow the oxalic acid product instructions and use appropriate personal protective equipment.

Commercial beekeeper feedback

Watch Nic’s feedback on using the 60Ah Battery Pack and InstantVap Turbo in a commercial beekeeping operation.

More consistent power means lower labour costs

One of the biggest advantages for InstantVap Turbo users is the reduction in performance drop-off. As an individual power-tool battery begins to run flat, the Turbo’s heat-recovery and dosing time can gradually increase.

That may only add a small amount of time to each hive, but across hundreds or thousands of hives, those extra seconds quickly become a meaningful labour cost.

When several individual batteries are used throughout the day, this slowing-down period happens repeatedly — once near the end of every battery. With the 60Ah Battery Pack, you receive steady, consistent power for much longer, with the drop-off occurring only once when the large battery finally reaches the end of its charge.

The 60Ah capacity is roughly equivalent to carrying 12–14 6Ah power-tool batteries, depending on the battery being compared. Instead of stopping throughout the day to swap batteries, the operator can keep moving efficiently through the hives.

Designed for commercial InstantVap Turbo use

The 60Ah Battery Pack is an excellent match for the InstantVap Turbo, helping commercial operators take full advantage of its fast dosing capability throughout the working day.

It provides a steady power source without tying the operator to a vehicle, generator or mains power supply.

Commercial teams using two Turbos will often place the Battery Pack on the ground rather than wearing the harness.

One Turbo can be positioned beside one pallet and the second beside the next pallet. The beekeeper can then move between the two pallets and work efficiently around the four hives without continually carrying or repositioning the equipment.

For an operator wanting to carry and run two separate Turbo setups, a second Battery Pack can be purchased. Both packs can be placed inside a suitable heavy-duty backpack sourced from a general outdoor or equipment store, creating a practical twin-Turbo mobile setup.

Not just for beekeeping treatments

This is much more than a dedicated InstantVap battery. With connection options for four of the most widely used cordless tool systems, it can become a practical all-day power source for a wide range of equipment used in an apiary, workshop, orchard, farm or contracting business.

Commercial beekeepers may also use it to power compatible cordless tools such as:

Bee blowers when removing bees from honey supers
Weed eaters and line trimmers for clearing vegetation around apiaries
Impact drivers and drills for assembling and repairing hive boxes
Nail guns for hiveware production and field repairs
Saws, grinders, lights and other cordless equipment used throughout the working day

The potential uses are extensive. For anyone regularly working through multiple power-tool batteries, the 60Ah Battery Pack can reduce battery changes, simplify charging and help keep tools operating consistently for longer.
