How much oxalic acid do I use on hive and nucs when vaping
 
The scientific experiments tend to suggest a tolerance of +1 g with a base of 2.5g.

I use half that on nucs.
 
Some also add a little bit more when vaping through the floor.
 
I'm using oxalic acid crystals and will be vaping trough the screen floors

3g worked for me in a single national brood box when vaping under the floor. I used a plumbers soldering mat to place the head of the vaporiser on so it did not burn the mite tray. Foam in the entrance and to cover any gap where the mite tray slides in.
