>...and they suggest 2.5 minutes of heating to administer the full dose. How long are you heating to vaporize your full dose? Again, even 12 hives seems pretty great to me... and I like the price of yours better too. Thanks.

I use the Heilyser JB200

I don't time the vaporizers, I run them until they quit putting out vapor, then pull them and move to the next one. I suspect they are in longer than the recommended time. I also don't measure the OA, I just fill the bowl with OA, tamp it down and put it in the hive. It's more than the 2 scoops recommended.
