Proper operation: Put appropriate amount of oxalic acid vaporizer in to instrument. Energize the system. Bring it up to about 550°F until you get a strong vapor. Then cut the temperature back to about 370° F and begin treating the bees.
Problem: sometimes the vapor stream is very hard to see threw goggles. Not suggesting taking safety equipment off. Does it hurt to raise the temperature to say 450°F to get a stronger and more clearly identified fog? I fog the bees until I can see it seeping out of the equipment. Sometimes it is very faint. Thanks for any help you can provide. Charlie
