InstantVap LITE - 18 volt

The InstantVap LITE 18V is a revolutionary, lightweight, and compact cordless oxalic acid vaporizer, perfect for small-scale beekeepers looking to simplify Varroa mite treatments. Designed with efficiency, durability, and practicality in mind, the InstantVap LITE offers all the performance you need for up to 20 colonies. It is full commercial quality like the Compact model but has an economy heating system to conserve battery power and hence the reason for slightly longer cycle times.
