Good Morning Kamon! I've been using the Provap 110 for years now, and running extension cords out to the yard is a hassle to say the least. The fact that it also accepts DeWalt batteries? SOLD. I bought one of the ProVap Dispensers as well, it works nice, but it's actually not adjustable like this one is. Wishing you all the best as always, thanks for turning me on to another step-up in beekeeping equipment! :)
Fred! You’re always spending my money! It makes me happy to see that Kamon is now spending yours… Except, wait, he’s spending mine too! 🤣 Thanks Kamon!!!
@@LarryLeesBees Hey Larry! Just like me, I know you have the ProVap 110 AND you purchased that metered cylinder at Hive Life... I'm happy to spend the money on this new unit as it's just too convenient to pass up. Plus, I already have a bank of 60V DeWalt Flex batteries :) Great minds! But the one Kamon has here he says it has a copper tube, the one I ordered has a brass delivery tube, maybe they are already improving them. :)
@@FrederickDunn - That’s fantastic! The batteries is exactly what sold me too (well, the whole unit sold me), if it’d had any battery other than DeWalt, I may not have paid as much attention. But all my tools run those batteries, so it was a no brainer for me Sir. 😃
I am a growing beekeeper with an average of 50-65 hives and was about to change to a new vap applicator. I couldn't justify the $2000 unit & hated the thought of spending over $500 for the ProVap 110 knowing it needed a small generator to run it along with quality long extension cords. I hate hate hate them! This is a game changer! Batter powered Vap unit Spring & Fall with battery powered leaf blower in the Fall to blow my boxes clear of bees. Thank you so much for this Vaporizer Video!!!
This is a game changer of a unit. If I did not have easy access to running an extension cord, I'd buy this no doubt. Rob really is taking the game up a level. Thanks for the review Kamon.
Yup, ordered. It is a lot of clams but I have clients all over the place. This will help me get more treatments in before dark. You can only treat so many hives in a week before you have to go back to the beginning and get the second round in. I usually deal with 200 feet of cord and two car batteries. That is not time-efficient! It's always a mad dash. In addition to my apiaries and my client's, I have several beekeepers who pay me to come treat their bees so they don't have to buy the equipment. Hopefully, this pays for itself in one season. Thanks K&L!
@@kamonreynolds I have to say, I love this thing! So quick and easy... Yes, you have to keep it clean, which I find motivating to keep my gear organized and functioning properly. Janos told me that the conversion to Fahrenheit is 445º, which is where I find the best sublimation (mine came from Lorabbees so it's not the European Celsius version). Thanks for turning us on to this vaporizer! If I rush, I can get in four apiaries in an evening! It has already paid for itself!
Well all I did was share but you are welcome! I also love this unit! It saves me time and gets me more motivated to kill those pesky mites! Thanks for the feedback!
I use one of these for 100 hives with the dewalt battery. Bought directly from from the maker in Hungary who is very responsive and helpful. I've done around 400 treatments and am delighted with it. I use the 5AH battery. It's very easy to use and I strongly recommend it.
Hi, Mark haworth, my boss also bought the provap upon my recommandation. The only problem is that now it has been 2 and a half weeks since we paid and we do not have any news about the delivery. We received only a confirmation of payment. We did not received a tracking number of any follow up after that. We reached to them numerous time but we did not received any sign of life. We are in Laval, Qc, Canada. Did it happen to you or somebody else also?
Just to be clear I’m in no way associated with the company but I was told the product had been very popular and there was a backlog. I think they were moving to bigger premises to cope with demand. That’s all I know.
I agree buy direct bot from rob that guy is not a reputable person in my mind..very cheaply made oa vaprizor is a joke and clogs up..wouldn’t ever purchase anything g after his cheesy response of you gotta heat tip up with torch..then after our conversation sells an upgrade for vaporizer..
I’m glad this also is also available with milwaukee batteries. We all know the real work gets done with the red stuff ;) haha either way I’m getting this
Great idea/product but wow that price and without a battery or charger. I guess if your running couple hundred hives but for my 4 hives that's a hard pill to swallow
Thanks Kamon for the review. Couple of questions: Do you close off the hive when treating? What's the lowest temp you can treat without generating condensation?
Hi condensation isn't a problem with this product as sublimes (goes from a solid to vapor, back to a solid.) However, it is best to treat when the temps are above 45 degrees Fahrenheit because the bees will be less clustered. 50 degrees would be better. It can be used at cold temps but the tighter the cluster the lower the kill rate
@@kamonreynolds My concern was condensation from the hot vapors entering the 45-50 degree hive. Also, do you close off the hive for a period of time to hold the vapors?
Hey Kamon. I just purchased one of these. I run 3/8” openings on my solid bottom boards. You think it would sit fine on the size opening similar to the 3/4” opening?
I'm only a second year bee keeper, today I used a oxalic acid wand for the first time today. Was going well then there was a lot of smell from burning bees, I panicked a bit and stopped. Will burning bee smoke harm the bees?!! Cheers
What parameters do you look for in the winter to treat with the vaporizer? 50 deg F daytime? Any concerns with it going below freezing the night after? Thanks for taking a moment to say hi at NAHBE!
@kamonreynolds - a few years ago, like 7, you started using the insect fogger and it seemed like a quick tool. Can you please comment on why switching to the InstantVap? Was the fogger effective?
It looks good but it's a lot more than I'm going to pay Looking for a cheaper route in the idea I'm looking at the vapor would you make a liquid And use what do you think about that ?
Really enjoyed the review, but when you give measurements like temperature, give them in the imperial system of measurement also. There is a lot of people that doesn't relate to the metric system
I’ve got this same vaporizer. Suppose a man runs the cheaper wood bleach Oxalic acid, that has a 99.6+ purity for a small, non commercial operation (less than a dozen hives). Do you think that honey will be ok to eat?
Thanks for sharing this Kamon! I had no idea this was available. Unfortunately we currently have two provaps. But when the time comes this would be really nice. I totally agree! We could treat the yard with this tool in the time it takes to set up for the provap. Generator, fuel, extension cords ect.
I read and watch a lot of videos on treating with oxalic acid but I have never heard anyone mention the effects of vaporizing on hive beetles or wax moths. What are your thoughts? Could vaporizing slow or kill wax moths and beetles? It would be great to kill two (or three) birds with one stone!
Oh w0w! Wax Moths - I Know what they are, Now! Bees moved into Screech Owl box i made, Then moved out. Can't say i blame them, Quite small, Looked even Smaller when i opened - Full of eggs, Magots and Tunnels into Wood, i was not prepared to see. {{sigh}} Gladly Fed some Hungry Fish at the Lake. 8 )
This is how much it is for US customers. lorobbees.com/products/instantvap-18v?variant=42951956857081 If your in another country you need to go to instantvapeu I think
@@kamonreynolds I have vented bases on my hives and have made a board that slides in underneath. I simply close the front with a damp towel and slide the board in with the vaporiser vand fitted and go from there. With this unit, I would have to somehow seal underneath the hive, wouldn’t I?
Hi all! As of April 2022, Provap actually does offer a 18V version of their vaporizer (with plenty of choice for battery brand support). It also includes a dispenser in somewhat the same fashion as this one. Check it out!
Most DeWalt batteries work. The old "stem" types won't work but all the batteries I had in the video do. I had a 2 am hour 6ah and 9ah. The big battery I used is called a 20/60 volt 9ah "flexvolt". As I used it in the video it only went up to 20 volts on the voltage gauge. DeWalt says alot of weird stuff for advertising but it really is all good for this unit. The instant vap is made to deal with all DeWalt batteries that fit like the ones I had in the video
Hey Kamon! Sorry to bother you. How much are you using Oxalic acid in grams with vaporizer per hive? Some of them I have one box, some of them two? I purchased Oxalic acid 99.6% pure, it is okay to use it? Or it has to be 100% pure? Thank you
That's impressive. You're right. The wands are a pain and the lugging a battery is brutal through the day. Just looked and it's 495.00 USD. But for that convenience, sometimes it's worth the investment for convenience. Keep the videos coming.
Just wondering why I would need a second plunger? I'm probably going to order one to pick up at the conference but it seems I can just refill a single plunger right away and drop it into the vaporizer unless I am missing something?
No, you are right, it is actually slower to swop them. If you have mixed small and large colonies, and you want to treat them with different amount, it can be faster if you have pre-set plungers.
I have had mine for a little over a month and nowit doesn't work correctly! As soon as battery is connected, it goes on and does NOT stop at set pint. Up to 800 degrees!
They make a metal (not sure what type) bottom board, that fits the apimaye perfectly. It has a dish type thing with a hole in it. We want to treat today and don't have the special metal bottom board. Sooooo...I'm not sure what our plan is 🤣.
At almost $500 dollars I’m wondering what you might suggest that would be cheaper for hobbyist or smaller side liners, 10-50 hives? What about the propane items like Gas-Vap? What do you think?
We have a few more afforable wall powered unit that he has made videos on in the past that can be found on our website, They are fast and built state side in our family shop.
Are these on Fahrenheit? Or Celsius? Can you change it to just Fahrenheit? What’s the proper temperature? How do you know? What’s the proper dosage? So much per 10 frame brood box?
There’s a machine I forget the name of the company but all the guys have really long beards and it works by butane you heat up the chamber with the butane and the flame is adjustable and I seen that it works very good you just have to every so often take the front part off put it in water to cool it and then go to the next hive I like that one you could do like 65 hives before you have to refill it and you refill you don’t have to throw it away or anything like that check it out

Wow, that thing is amazing! Id love to have one some day!
I'm on my 3rd piece if crap out there, plus batteries. Therefore I'm into this about $500 so far. Something that actually works is worth any cost.
Ok, having fun with that new keeper toy, out of my price range but looks like a good unit. Ty for the demo.

Recently purchased this unit awesome product
It really is!
Perfect timing. I was fixing to order the Provap. Just ordered the milwaukee version. Thank you for your videos.
Glad to help!
Looks great and well designed and built, just like old times.. I just asked them and they are still made in the USA!
i love this idea!
I have a small hole drilled in the rear of my hives, thus not contend with the bees .
Just ordered one this looks awesome no more generator
Only have to sell 3 or 4 nucs to buy this, well worth it.
That is what I say, this is a job I don't like to do so any tool that will make it better and faster is worth it's weight
I see an instant vap in my beekeeping future for sure
Definitely need the Milwaukee version here.
Nice review. I have plenty of batteries. Like the ease of use and no cords. Nice. Thanks
It takes DeWalt batteries? That's perfect!
This is a complete game changer for those of us who have outyards.
The 20v dewalts, the square ones that have a flat top connector.
Oh yes I am looking forward to treating colonies in out yards now!
Thanks !!
that's brilliant. I know what my purchase is going to be. 😀
Nice.. Hope there's an aussie distributor lined up, we're going to need them sooner or later..
I was hoping Australia would be a safe sanctuary for bees from Varroa but you're probably right.

Hello my friend. Can oxalic acid vapor be used at 45°C? There are open and closed larvae
it cannot. the OA rapidly cools and i have never seen it effect brood even at 250c
thanks for the answer. But my question is wrong. The temperature of our weather in Iraq is 45 degrees Celsius. Can oxalic steam be used?
I don't like drilling holes in my hives . I always treat from the entry of the hives.

That looks awesome. But thta $500 price tag.... YIKES!
Hey Kamon! Sorry to bother you. How much are you using Oxalic acid in grams with vaporizer per hive? Some of them I have one box, some of them two? I purchased Oxalic acid 99.6% pure, it is okay to use it? Or it has to be 100% pure? Thank you
That's impressive. You're right. The wands are a pain and the lugging a battery is brutal through the day. Just looked and it's 495.00 USD. But for that convenience, sometimes it's worth the investment for convenience.

Thanks Bee Bob!
It takes 50 gr off cane sugar and 250 ml to make 14 gr off oxalic acid at home

That is going to be a game changer if it holds up. Good job Rob. You are going to make the other vaps look like model T's.
I have to. Three hives. But power outlets
I have had mine for a little over a month and nowit doesn't work correctly! As soon as battery is connected, it goes on and does NOT stop at set pint. Up to 800 degrees!
Definitely contact the company. Mine has worked flawlessly with 2 lbs thru it
@@kamonreynolds Yes, Rob got right back to me and will send a replacement. I already mailed the defective unit. He says it's the first failure.
Ooosh Ooosh - Points at boxes, twirls hand to fist - grins
Seems like the treatments work way better at a steady temperature and why it was a caveman response plus the droughts stops all words coming out.
That's a great idea but the price is pretty high. It doesn't come with a battery or charger :o Maybe next year when we double the hive count.
What method will you be using to adapt using this on the Apimayes?
Not sure yet
They make a metal (not sure what type) bottom board, that fits the apimaye perfectly. It has a dish type thing with a hole in it. We want to treat today and don't have the special metal bottom board. Sooooo...I'm not sure what our plan is 🤣.

We have a few more afforable wall powered unit that he has made videos on in the past that can be found on our website, They are fast and built state side in our family shop.

How often do you recommend cleaning it with water flushes? After each days use? Thank you.
I've been using a propane pesticide fogger for years with no cord needed.

There’s a machine I forget the name of the company but all the guys have really long beards and it works by butane you heat up the chamber with the butane and the flame is adjustable and I seen that it works very good you just have to every so often take the front part off put it in water to cool it and then go to the next hive I like that one you could do like 65 hives before you have to refill it and you refill you don’t have to throw it away or anything like that check it out
