Hi- These videos are so interesting and helpful- thanks so much for posting! A couple of questions, if you don’t mind? Which do you find more effective -between this method (gas vap) or reg OA vap method? And which is easier to execute, in your opinion? I’m a fellow Apimaye user- have been using formic pro strips up to now, but am ready to graduate to either a battery vap or gas vap.

Effectiveness is about the same for both methods. Gas vap is much faster so that's my preference. I use oa in combination with apivar and formic thru the year.

What are the threaded inserts called? I think it's a good idea. I've been letting the vapor drift up through the screen, from below.

They are called rivet nut threaded inserts. Amazon link is in the description above or you can google for more info.

Does the metal insert lock the hive body to the bottom board?

Hi Mike, the bottom board and the hive body's are permanently attached on the hives that I have. They do sell a bottom board kit that you can attached to a wood body if you want to go that route. If you want to vap from the front you can also just put a cork on the end if you gas vap and use the upper entrance. Hope that helps or answers your question.

What kind of Gas Vap Gun was that.

The gas-vap was started in england but the shipping cost isnt that bad and its fairly fast. If you dont want to buy one some people just use a copper pipe, put a cap on one end and put a torch to it. I think they work as well as the pro-vap or easy-vap and are cheaper. URL Link bridge-cottage.com/store
