>Majority of those who treated were doing 3x every 7 days in August/September.

 

In my experience that is not enough. I have to do 5x at least once a week to get the mite counts down and then I do a follow up about 3 weeks later for the invaders

 

 

>I know some of them were/are using homemade vaporizers and some are using commercially available ones. A friend of mine tested the homemade one vs Oxavap wand style vaporizer. On a fully charged portable battery charger he's able to do 20 hives with the oxavap unit but he can only do 8 hives with the homemade device. 

 

I'm having some success with the JB700. I can do around 20 hives with my battery pac before needing recharge
