    In this video I cover the pros & cons of the Provap EZ 110 sold by Oxavap. I like this vaporizer, but I don't think it's for everyone.

    Nathan, Another great video! If anybody doubts you are from TN they just need to listen to you say tuuube at 2:42 and all doubts will be disappear. Regarding not being an "early adopter" we had a saying at work..."its ok to be on the leading edge, but not the bleeding edge". I plan to get me a InstaVap soon with Dewalt Batteries but I only have 12 hives...getting tired of dragging out the chord and filling the cups repeatedly for summer treatments. Thanks again for a great well thought out video.

    Thorough review Nathan . All performance aside the cost of the unit and generator Makes Rob's battery unit look very affordable.
    And thank you for showing putting the facemask filter! I can not believe the number of OA videos I've seen lately from some Hive Life participants not using eye protection or even goggles! "Well we are upwind" comments is putting new beekeepers at risk. The number of times we have had caps blow off... Anyways, merry Christmas and a happy New Years to you and yours.

      Thanks Mike. I agree, a full face respirator should be the standard. They aren’t that much more expensive…definitely cheaper than a set of eyes.

    Your comments are right on point with my experience using the Pro Vap EZ 110. If you are looking for a case to carry it in your truck, you might try looking in a military surplus store and try a motar storage tube or similar munitions tube. You might try Sgt. Troy's Military Store in Lawrenceburg the next time you make a trip to Albert Zook's place. He gave me a really nice deal on some ammo cans several years ago.

    Thanks for the review. I always wondered why people OA from the bottom instead of doing it from the top. Your thoughts

    • @DuckRiverHoney
      @DuckRiverHoney  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don’t think it matters that much, but brood nest is usually closer to the entrance. I know some do drill holes higher up to insert OA. I see vapor coming out the top when vaporizing from the bottom so I think there’s good coverage regardless.

    Let's start by stating, I'm an outlaw. Ok, that's out of the way now. I'm happy, and a bit surprised, that you received good customer service from Larry. Maybe he remembered you and that you are a TH-cam creator. But glad you got the from him (plus, you're really just a very good guy, so there's that). That's a nice unit, and while I'm not a huge oxi-vap fan, his equipment is pretty solid and frankly he was the only reputable U.S. source for quite some time. My pro-vap is still kicking, so I'll be an oxi-vap guy until I can't reasonably repair it anymore. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to you all!! Thanks for the card Nathan!!

    Thank you for this, I watch all of your stuff and have seen your older videos since hive live on this product. Just trying to get more feedback before making an investment. Keep up the good work. My Johno’s takes me way too much time with the silicon caps and reheat time.

    • @DuckRiverHoney
      @DuckRiverHoney  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s a good unit, and I think it’ll be reliable. The instavap with Dewalt batteries would be super small and convenient, but I don’t know how trouble free it’ll be over a lot of use. Another year or two on the market should answer that.

      @@DuckRiverHoney exactly, I do drink the coolaide on lithium ion, and like the robust tube compared to the copper tube on John o’s. I appreciate you making this content, I’m still unsure what direction I will go, but oav is my most inefficient activity, and I am trying to be as efficient as possible as a sideliner looking to expand to pollinating/different out yards.
      One question, you are lucky you don’t have bears, but I learned the hard way about mouse guards, do you just let them roll with the reducer? It isn’t often but when it happened once I swore off letting mice destroy a good queen/colony.

    • @DuckRiverHoney
      @DuckRiverHoney  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I haven’t had mice issues yet, but I expect it eventually. On my newer bottom boards I’m actually stapling the reducer on so it’s there year round.

    I enjoy your videos a lot very informative . On a side note I'm curious what kind of inventory program do you use to keep track of things?

    • @DuckRiverHoney
      @DuckRiverHoney  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I moved to quick books this year, but I’m not really tracking inventory in it yet. I do have some spreadsheets I made with equipment counts and things. Bottles are really my most critical inventory because I can’t sell honey without them…I’m keeping 6 month to a year of bottles on hand. Since Covid they’ve been hard to get at times.

      Jim it’s a time issue, or maybe a priority issue. The honey house has taken up a lot of free time for tinkering.
