InstantVap 18V Original - Premium oxalic acid vaporiser with battery operation

The InstantVap 18V Original with battery operation is a professional and cordless oxalic acid vaporiser. It is compatible with battery systems from Makita® LXT, Bosch® GBA/ProCore 18V, Parkside® X20V-TEAM, Einhell® Power X Change, Metabo® 18V, Milwaukee® M18, Dewalt® XR 18/20V and FlexVolt 20/60V or 18/54V. This vaporiser is also suitable for both professional and hobby beekeepers. The Original InstantVap 18 is manufactured in Hungary to an excellent quality standard and offers very good value for money compared to the oxalic acid sublimator Varrox® Eddy from Andermatt BioVet.  

One of the fastest sublimators

The InstantVap 18V is probably one of the fastest battery-powered sublimators on the market. In addition, the oxalic acid vaporiser with an 18V battery reaches the manufacturer's recommended and pre-set target temperature of 230°C in approx. 3 minutes. We therefore recommend not changing the set temperature of 230 °C under any circumstances, even if significantly lower temperatures are mentioned on the Internet and in specialist forums. Nevertheless, it is important to adhere to the specified temperature as it is based on proven empirical values and therefore ensures optimum results. However, it is possible to change the desired set temperature on the control unit of the InstantVap 18V Original without any problems. The temperature is based on proven empirical values and is optimised for the best treatment result. Once the set temperature has been reached, all bee colonies can be treated one after the other without waiting. The treatment time per colony is only approx. 30 seconds. The reason for this is the closed system in which the oxalic acid vaporises. Due to the short treatment time per hive, the InstantVap 18V can easily treat over 100 colonies per day. Approx. 1 Ah is required to heat up the InstantVap 18. After that, 1 Ah is sufficient for around 10 oxalic acid treatments of 2 grams each at an ambient temperature of 20 °C. A 4 Ah battery is therefore sufficient for treating up to 30 hives. However, the battery must have a capacity of at least 3Ah.  

Compatible battery systems

The InstantVap18 can be operated with the following battery systems (min. 3 Ah): AEG® 18V/Ridgid® 18V Black+Decker® 18V Bosch® GBA/ProCore 18V (Professional) Bosch® PBA/Power4All 18V (Home & Garden) Dewalt® XR 18/20V, FlexVolt 20/60V or 18/54V Einhell® Power X Change 18V Ferrex/Activ Energy® 20V or 20/40V (Aldi) Hikoki®/Hitachi® 18V LUX-Tools® 20V (Obi) Makita® LXT 18V Metabo® 18V Milwaukee® M18 Parkside® X20V-TEAM 20V (Lidl/Kaufland) Depending on the battery and charger used, the charging time is between 15 and 60 minutes.  

Advantages of the InstantVap 18V

  • Deep discharge protection to extend the service life of the battery (the InstantVap 18 Original switches off at a voltage of 15.4 V and does not switch on when an empty battery with less than 17.2 V is connected)
  • Thermostat for precise and dynamic temperature control
  • No overheating
  • Working without cables
  • No fire hazard due to open fire or gas
  • Adjustable individual dosage for 1 to 4 grams of oxalic acid dihydrate powder
  • Practical and mobile use
  • Very good stability when switching off the oxalic acid vaporiser
  • Continuous operation after reaching the set temperature once
  • Stainless steel frame and dispenser
  • Battery voltage indicator for monitoring the charge status
  • Insulation for reliable operation even in cold, windy weather
  • Sturdy brass outlet tube
  • No elaborate sealing of the flight hole is necessary, as the oxalic acid sublimates explosively and thus penetrates every corner of the prey.
  • Safe working, as the user can move away from the prey during the treatment process.
  • Certified according to European standards (CE certificate of conformity)

Technical details:

Safety instructions:

Oxalic acid is extremely dangerous for the human body! Never work without suitable protective equipment! Full protective equipment includes full-body protective clothing, gloves (acid and heat resistant up to 250 °C), eye protection (safety goggles or full face mask), respiratory protection (half mask or full face mask suitable for gaseous oxalic acid). Please note that FFP2 or FFP3 masks are only suitable for oxalic acid in solid form, but not for oxalic acid sublimate, as these have too much leakage in the face area and therefore too much unfiltered air contaminated with oxalic acid is inhaled!
