Great products. I was actually about to design and 3D print a mould for making a silicone cover. Also very useful for at the end of your vaping, stops nozzle burning anything

Looks like you'll have to print them as you can't buy the silicone cover or water cleaning cap on their website.

Just ordered one of these at the weekend 👍

Received mine last week. I had to get a couple of 5.5 AH batteries for it. My existing 2AH ones just werent enough. Having said that, the Vap is excellent, it really pumps out the gas so well. It's expensive - but I expect many years use and the Vap is incredibly simple to use - and it's FAST.

Just ordered mine a few days ago, Christmas gift to myself!!! I see there is a mark 2 coming out that’s slimmer and lighter!! Still prefer the look of this version tho, the new one looks less sturdy!

Must be great to spend the day with Duncan on the bees! Some keepers would kill for the opportunity 😂 what kind of back up is there in terms of parts/ repairs?

I think all the parts are available through InstantVap or their agents 😊

Hey Duncan-- great to match a face to your Facebooks posts- I'm in the United States... I've got Lorrobbes here as our distributor.

How would this work on some poly hives that have a large landing board at the front that can’t not be removed? Is there an extension piece that can get past these landing boards? Or do you have to drill a hole in the back of the hive floor and use with silicone cap?

@TheDanspence

I have Maisemore polys with the long landing board. And abelo poly too. Works great on both. The battery is at the back so just goes in level no hindrance from the landing board. Poly nucs, i have cut corrax varroa trays to fit under the nucs and just strap them in place. Also had no issue with the nucs works great Danny

That's a handy piece of kit for large amounts of hives, no batteries to carry about. Do you have to supply your own battery, or is it available on the website?

Supply your own batteries. The idea is you pick the brand of batteries you already own so it saves you from buying more batteries

@mrgari189

Жыл бұрын

If you don't already own one of the following Parkside X20V-TEAM; Einhell Power X Change; Metabo; Makita LXT; Milwaukee M18; Bosch GBA 18V; Dewalt 18V They can be bought from hardware stores/amazon/screwfix/toolstation (don't forget to also buy a charger). Parkside is Lidl and is likely to be the cheapest but their batteries may not always on sale. Einhell probably the next cheapest and are sold by Toolstation. You can also buy "badaptors" for using a battery on a different "platform". Toolstation are currently selling 2x4.0ah batteries for £70. Lidl/Parkside are around £30 for for a 5.0ah (the bigger the amp hour the more charge the battery can hold and the longer it will run the vap)

Thanks, seems a great product but looks like you can't buy the silicone cover or water cleaning cap on their website.

Can’t remember exactly but it was an online welding and paint shop.

How many grams of Api Bioxal did you use? How can you tell when its "done"-- by watching the temp drop?? so you know when it time to move to the next hive...and not interrupt the treatment in the middle of vaping it?

1g for nucs 2g for full size hives. Once it stops smoking you can instantly reload and do the next hive.

Cleaning is the biggest pain. I would love a cartidge system for water... that way it doesnt have the cap pop risk.

Hi guys. One question, since you are also using Apibioxal as the rest of the Europe is. How many hives can you treat before the device clogs up since Apibioxal contains sugar and sillica? I managed to do about 40 hives then i had to take apart the machine to clean it thouroughly since there was caramel buildup in the heating chamber due to the impurites of the Apibioxal.
