About InstantVap Compact 18V ⎯

The InstantVap® Compact 18V is the all-round cordless choice for regular beekeepers managing roughly 20 to 100 colonies. It gives you much shorter treatment cycles than the Lite without the extra controls and power draw of the Turbo.

  • 20–25 second treatment cycle for a 2 g dose
  • Preset 230°C operating temperature with dynamic control
  • Clear LED feedback for warm-up, ready, vaporising and low battery
  • Tool-free 1–4 g dispenser and replaceable brass spout

Select the battery socket that matches the tool platform you already use. The Compact is the default recommendation when you want a practical balance of speed, portability and straightforward operation.

Battery and charger are not included. Use a compatible battery with at least 4 Ah capacity, wear appropriate PPE and follow the current product label, permit conditions and manufacturer instructions.
