OXALIKA PREMIUM vaporizer
The temperature automatically regulates itself to 200 °C during sublimation.
Automatic temperature control
Thanks to temperature control:
- Oxalic acid evaporates more effectively at the lowest possible temperature, without the risk of it losing effectiveness by decomposing at higher temperatures.
- Time is saved because there is no need to disconnect the battery and cool the vaporizer between one treatment and the next.
Treatment duration
- 40 seconds to sublimate 1 gram of oxalic acid
- 1 minute and 30 seconds to sublimate 2 grams of oxalic acid
Thanks to temperature control, the battery lasts longer and the vaporizer can operate for thousands of treatment cycles.
Compatibility with oxalic acid
The OXALIKA PREMIUM vaporizer is compatible with both the new 99.5% Api-Bioxal formulation and the previous formulation containing excipients.
For treatments, use only products authorized in your country, following the instructions for use on the label.
Battery protection and electrical safety
- The OXALIKA Premium vaporizer stops operating before the battery is completely discharged, thereby preventing damage to it.
- The electrical circuit is insulated from the metal parts and therefore, unlike other vaporizers, there is no risk of a short circuit if several vaporizers powered by the same battery come into contact with one another.
Power supply and technical specifications
- Power supply: 12 volts
- Power: 130 watts
- Battery: not included
- Power cable: 3 meters, with clamps for the electrical connection
How the OXALIKA Premium vaporizer works
Oxalic acid is placed in the pan, which is inserted into the hive entrance.
As the pan heats up, the oxalic acid evaporates. This creates a mist inside the hive that coats the bees and all surfaces with a thin layer of oxalic acid crystals.
These small crystals are well tolerated by the bees but have a lethal effect on Varroa mites.
The pan is connected to a sturdy handle from which the 3-meter cable, fitted with clamps for the electrical connection, extends.

Frequently asked questions
What are the differences between the Oxalika Basic model and the Oxalika Premium vaporizer?
The Basic model does not have temperature control.
You can see that the OXALIKA Premium vaporizer has two wires leading to the pan: one is for the heating element and the other is for the device that keeps the temperature constant.
The Basic model, on the other hand, has only one wire, for the heating element.
Why is temperature control important?
Because it saves you time and allows you to carry out more treatments with the battery.
With temperature control, there is no need to cool the pan between treatments, and you will not waste energy heating the pan back up to the sublimation temperature.
Does the Oxalika Premium vaporizer need to be cooled between treatments?
No, it does not. It has a special device that keeps the temperature within the correct range for sublimation (190–200 °C), so you can add the acid directly without having to cool it down.
