    Description

    Made in and ships quickly from Colorado, USA!
    Buy with confidence - we do everything we can to make a product that we are proud of and that you can count on. It is a point of pride for us to stand behind our products and will make sure you are happy.
    No one else can match the value and reliability we offer.
    Note that we are so fast at shipping (within 1 day) that ebay gives us their highest tier for an estimated delivery date.
    We have nothing but 5 star reviews!
    Take a look at the features of our professionally engineered vaporizer which makes it superior to others on the market:
    High-reliability heating elements are designed to yield literally tens of thousands of uses - this tool will outlast you! Competitors that tout replaceable heaters desire to sell you more stuff and can use lower quality components. 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 (beware - oxalic heaters with a large single heater off to one side tend to go too fast or have hot spots that cause either the oxalic to decompose or to boil so quickly that it spatters and doesn't actually vaporize, giving a false sense that you delivered the full dose)
    100% complete and ready to go out of the package. Some other vaporizers ship to you in pieces...
    3 minute cycle time (fully charged 12 volt battery) (we suggest waiting 4 minutes to be sure)
    Takes up less storage room than other designs, 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 and long 9 foot cord made of 100% copper
    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
    Lightweight, compact, a bit over 16 inches long
    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 (we have had problems with the designs that look like a flag on a pole - yikes!)
    Comes with a properly sized scoop for 1 gram of oxalic
    Rust proof components
    Pennies per use (oxalic is cheap!)
    Varroa are less likely to generate resistance to oxalic vaporization than some other treatments
    More features at a lower cost than other vaporizers = better value
    Makes a great gift for the beekeeper in your life!
    Designed in the USA! - Made in the USA! - Ships from the USA!
    In the unlikely event that you have problems, you will be talking directly to both a beekeeper and the actual manufacturer!
    What will you need to apply vaporized oxalic acid to your hives? Not a lot:
    This vaporizer
    Oxalic acid powder (a life-time's supply is available cheap on ebay or at your local hardware store as wood bleach)
    12 v battery - car, motorcycle, lawnmower, etc. We suggest a smaller one that can have a sling or similar fitted so that it can be carried like a purse or put it in the bottom of a five gallon bucket with all of your other supplies for an easy-to-tote system. Typically about at Walmart, etc. You may also need a trickle charger (~-12).
    PPE (personal protective equipment) like goggles, gloves and respirator. I hook it up, stand back a long ways (upwind) and time out 4 minutes. Typically you can see the smoke vapors escape cracks, etc. during minutes 2 and 3. Be careful, the smoke is toxic to you too!
    Knowledge on how to do it: I like Randy Oliver's scientificbeekeeping.com  Just as an example: For each hive, after human consumption honey supers are removed, typically I apply 1.5 grams per treatment, 3 treatments total, treatments exactly 7 days apart. But do the reading so you know what's going on...
    Common sense! It's a precision tool that is meant to get very hot - so treat it with respect.
    Note that colors may change and can be different than those pictured.

    Thanks for looking!
