I also use the Heilyser vaporizer.

That's where I ordered mine from as well. Takes a little while to get, but had no problems.
Didn't come with cables so I used speaker wire, works great!

One day I will have to start bleaching my frames. Just to make the wood look new again. :-D

I added 20 ft of lamp cord and 2 large alligator clips to mine. I can get my truck that close to all my colonies so dont have to carry a battery.
This is my system
1) I place a dollar store timer on top of each of 4 colonies set at 10 minutes.
2) I set a dollar store timer on my truck battery set at 2 minutes
3) I set a pc of carpet foam 2" X 16" long by each entrance
4) I duct tape all upper entrances
5) I fill the burner, slide it in and stuff the hole with foam
6) I put the clamps on my battery and start the 2 minute timer
7) When it beeps I unhook the battery, go to the colony and start the 10 minute timer on top of that hive. (the hive needs to stay sealed for 10 minutes) I pull the burner and stuff the foam back in the entrance
8) I then move to hive #2 and do the same over again
I am usually on colony 5 or 6 when the 1st 10 minute time beeps. I pull the foam and tape and they are done

Danno,
10 Minutes? Crud I've only been doing it for about 5-7 but I've been pleased with the results. How many of those do you have? I've only got one and I cork up the hive vaporize them as I'm setting up the next hive. I pull out the vaporizer after 75 seconds (it's empty) recork the hive and move it to the next one. I'm repeating the process with 4 hives in the rotation with only 15 total getting the treatment. It takes about an hour to do them all.

I only have one vaporizer. I considered buying 3 more so I could run a pallet at a time but decide I didn't want to deal with 4 wires running through the grass. One and my system keeps me hopping. Most of my yards are 5 pallets or 20 colonies. I can treat a yard in alittle over a hour and for about a buck

Oxalic acid dihydrate evaporation method, Varroa struggle doing.
This application, the design of my own making apparatus.
''GÜRLE ARICILIK'' My blog
I did find the list of applications.
2 g of oxalic acid dihydrate put into the apparatus.
30 seconds after the beginning of evaporation.
1Koloni 1 minute it ends.
Entries do not need to shut down, because it will not come out of the bee is uncomfortable.
