Lightweight Varroa Treatment on the Move: OZ Armour InstantVap Lite 18V
The OZ Armour InstantVap Lite 18V is a cordless oxalic acid vaporizer designed for beekeepers who want a portable tool for incorporating oxalic acid vaporisation into their Varroa management routine. Its compact cordless format allows you to move from hive to hive without being tied to a mains power source.
Available from OZ Armour, the InstantVap Lite 18V can be configured with a range of common 18V battery socket types, making it easier to match the vaporizer with a compatible battery platform already used around the apiary.
Cordless Design for Flexible Apiary Work
The 18V cordless configuration is particularly useful when working across multiple hives or in locations where mains power is not readily available. A compatible battery can be attached directly to the selected socket, allowing the vaporizer to be carried around the apiary during treatment work.
The available socket choices include DeWalt, Parkside, Einhell/Ozito, Metabo, Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch GBA/PROCORE, AEG/Ridgid, LUX, Hikoki/Hitachi, Black+Decker, Ferrex and Bosch PBA/POWER4ALL.
Choose the Battery Platform You Already Use
One of the main advantages of the InstantVap Lite 18V is the range of battery-interface options. This allows beekeepers to select a socket compatible with their existing cordless-tool system rather than being locked into one battery brand.
For Ryobi batteries, the current product instructions specify selecting the DeWalt option and purchasing the separate DeWalt-to-Ryobi adapter.
Compact Tool for Oxalic Acid Vaporisation
The InstantVap Lite 18V is purpose-built for oxalic acid vaporisation and provides a dedicated heating chamber and applicator assembly for hive treatment work. Its stainless-steel construction and compact form make it suitable for carrying between colonies as part of a broader Varroa management program.
As with any equipment used for oxalic acid application, the vaporizer should only be used with an appropriate product and according to the applicable label, permit and safety directions.
