OA smoker

[thekeeper]

I'm now using OA to treat for mites.I have made a vaporizer that goes on the front of my smoker.I have had excellent luck using this method.Their is no fuel in smoker just the air pushing thru the vaporizer.I had thought of this after the first time using a torch vaporizer.The crystalls would not evaporate at a good rate and alot of times it would clog the vaporizer.Also it would not burn all the crystals.Since I have made a torch vaporizer that connects to my smoker I have had mite drop go from a couple to whiping out the problem completly.It works better than formic acid and doesnt eat away at the nails od crimp wire.I will take pics and post them so you can see the rate of mite drop compared to regular torch vaporizer.Works as well as electric 1 available from CA

Can you use it during a nectar flow?

COuld you post some pics of your vaporizer, and maybe describe the building process? I have built a torch version, but I am displeased with how much condenses before hitting the hive. I end up pulling it out and heating the delivery tube then reinserting it. Very unhandy and increases the chance of breathing the vapors! (Not Good!)
