115V Oxalic Acid Vaporizer to Treat Varroa Mites
Designed, Manufactured, Assembled in and Ships from Colorado, USA!
Loads of features at a great price equals a great value! Take a look at our professional vaporizer :
- High-reliability heating elements are designed to yield literally tens of thousands of uses - this tool will outlast you! Our business model is to sell this to you just once - and have you tell your friends about how great it is so that they buy one!
Dual heating elements for excellent and even heat distribution while avoiding overheating (which leads to decomposition). Our system is designed to minimize spattering and hot spots.
- 100% complete and ready to go out of the package.
3 minute cycle time (we suggest waiting 4 minutes to be sure).
Compact at 16 inches long, yet reaches to the middle of the hive.
Durable and made of only the best materials.
Soldered, NOT crimped, electrical connections!
CNC machined aircraft aluminum bowl.
Very flexible, 11-foot long cord.
Do you have a robbing screen or other small opening to your hive and don't want to take it off for an oxalic treatment? This unit is only 2 inches wide and 3/8 inch tall. It will fit through all robbing screens we have found, most others won't!
Holds up to 3 grams of oxalic acid with room to spare - enough for any hive.
Every single unit is tested after the assembly process to ensure that it is 100% ready to go - no bad surprises when it gets to your house.
Symmetrical design prevents bowl from wanting to tilt sideways and dump the contents when preparing or in use.
The power supply has a light to let you know that the device is powered/active.
Our power supply is UL, FCC and RoHS listed. We use only the best.
Comes with a properly sized scoop for 1 gram of oxalic powder.
Rust proof components.

What will you need:
- This vaporizer and the included measuring scoop
- Oxalic acid powder
- PPE (personal protective equipment): goggles, gloves and respirator
115V AC power source
Process:
The scoop holds 1 gram of loose (not packed) oxalic acid powder
A typical application: For each hive, after human consumption honey supers are removed, apply 1.5 grams per treatment, 3 treatments total, treatments exactly 7 days apart
Insert the vaporizer into the hive before turning it on, no need to open the hive
Turn the vaporizer on and time out 4 minutes. Usually, you can see the smoke vapors escape cracks during minutes 2 and 3
Disconnect the vaporizer power source
Care of Vaporizer and System:
- Do not dunk the vaporizer bowl in water to speed cooling. That thermal shock will quickly ruin the vaporizer. Should there be a need to treat a second hive, ideally the vaporizer should be allowed to air cool until cool enough not to melt a new charge of oxalic acid. If you wish to increase the cooling speed, bury the vaporizer in dry, loose sand or gravel
