Looking for recommendations on a oxalic Vaporizer

[Natureboy44]

I have been looking at this one https://bridge-cottage.com/store. But would like to hear some opinions and recommendations before I buy anything.

I don't want to use the cheap ebay ones that need a big battery, ideally I would like one with the nozzle so it can be administered through a hole in the back of the hive.

In the below £100 price range the gas vap is going to be hard to beat. I have the first model and the torch is the weakest link howver I see now that they are using a better more expensive torch which should help.

Black Mountain Honey did a review which may interest you : https://youtu.be/L_LuNY2heoU

Spare caps are useful if you have several hives.

I assume that the oxalic acid you have in the picture has been used for cleaning the hive and not for treating it, as that is not a Veterinary Medicines Directorate approved product.

You might even wish to consider editing out / removing the picture

Some white residue is not abnormal. It is just where the oxalic has condensed a bit.
