ProVap 110 - Oxalic Acid Vaporizer

This vaporizer uses oxalic acid to treat hives for varroa mites. A great tool for apiaries with several hives, as a treatment will take approximately 20 seconds!

Connect the vaporizer to your 110 volt power source. It will take approximately 2 minutes to reach operating temperature. The red sequence readout will display 230 when ready.

In the white plastic lids place the appropriate amount of oxalic acid. Do NOT pack the oxalic acid in the lid; rather place it loosely. No matter the size be it mediums or deeps, eight or ten frame use one gram (¼ teaspoon) per brood chamber. On a two brood chamber hive; you would use ½ a teaspoon. Nuc boxes use ¼ teaspoon for two boxes.  Invert the vaporizer. Take the white plastic lid containing the oxalic acid and push it onto the bowl (be careful the vaporizer bowl is very HOT!) Place the still inverted vaporizer stem (with lid attached) into the hive box and then turn the vaporizer right side up and tap the lid. The acid will fall into the bowl and start to vaporize. This will cause the temperature to drop to approximately 210-215 then very quickly start to rise. When it again reaches 230, it is finished vaporizing and you can move on to the next hive.
