OXALIKA MINI Cordless Sprint Vaporizer
The Oxalika MINI Cordless vaporizer is compact, lightweight, and ready for action. This cordless oxalic acid vaporizer combines efficiency, portability, and convenience at an affordable price. Ideal for hobbyist beekeepers treating with oxalic acid.
How the Oxalika MINI Cordless vaporizer works with 18V batteries
Compatible with 18V lithium-ion batteries (not included). It also works with low-capacity batteries (minimum 2Ah), allowing for 7–10 treatments with 2 grams of oxalic acid on a single heating cycle. With 5Ah batteries, it can perform approximately 50 cold starts or 60 warm starts.
Quick Dosing with the Sprint System
The Sprint system features an adjustable spring-loaded plunger that lets you select the desired dose from 1 to 4 grams by simply turning a knob. The process is simple and fast:
- Extract the plunger
- Pick up the oxalic acid
- Insert it into the chamber and press the knob
Sublimation starts immediately. With a 2g dose, the cycle can be repeated every 50 seconds.
Note: this model is not compatible with the Smart Valve.
Fast Heating and Status LED
The vaporizer reaches operating temperature in just 3–4 minutes. A status LED clearly indicates:
- Target temperature reached
- Sublimation in progress
- Heating phase
Smart Battery Protection System
An integrated system protects the battery from deep discharge. It automatically shuts down the device when the charge is too low, preserving battery life.
- Green: charged battery
- Red: low battery, shutdown imminent

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the temperature control system work on the OXALIKA MINI Cordless model?
Although this version does not have a display, the temperature control system is highly accurate. It uses a platinum temperature sensor integrated into the boiler. The temperature is factory preset to optimal levels and cannot be changed by the user.
The system is entirely designed and manufactured in Italy with high-quality components specifically for oxalic acid vaporizers. Operation is very simple: just insert the battery to turn on the device. A red/green LED indicates the device status (heating, ready, in sublimation, battery status, and other info detailed in the manual).
Temperature control is extremely precise: overheating is limited to just 2–3°C above the preset value. This makes the Oxalika MINI Cordless vaporizer extremely reliable even in changing environmental conditions.
