Hive-IQ InstantVap Adapter: Billet Aluminum OAV Bracket
PremiumOur most premium solution yet for non-wooden hives — designed and machined in-house by Lorob Bees in Baltimore, MD.
What it is
- Material: 6061 billet aluminum
- Made by: Lorob Bees (in-house machining, USA)
- Built for: Hive-IQ insulated boxes
Why it’s different
- Slip-fit design for a clean, repeatable seal
- Flip the right/left doors shut to seal for oxalic acid treatment
- First-ever for non-wood boxes: the gun can hang on the box during treatment
Ease of use
This bracket features a smooth slip fitment for Hive-IQ boxes. Close the right and left doors to create a solid seal for oxalic acid. The fit is so secure that the vaporizer can stay hanging on the box during treatment — something that hasn’t been achievable with any other oxalic acid vaporizer solution for non-wooden equipment.
The perfect treatment for your insulated boxes starts here.
Clean fit. Quick setup. A product you can trust.
Compatibility
InstantVap Compact and InstantVap Turbo. Both seat against the bracket's stops, so the unit sits at the right depth and stays put.
InstantVap Original — the stem sits roughly 30% taller inside the bowl, so it won't seat. We're still working on a solution for Original owners.
InstantVap Lite — usable, but the stops weren't cut for it. The Lite's rounded, narrower front face can feel unsteady in the bracket, and it can be pushed further into the hive than it should go. Seat it gently and don't insert it past where a Compact or Turbo would stop.
Important note
One potential downside if you plan to go hands free: If you use a large battery on an empty/light hive, the leverage of the unit can lift the box from the bottom board. If your hives are light at time of treatment, place a brick on top or use a smaller battery.
