>  why SEVEN days apart???  Why not 4 or 5?

Two reasons. First...recommendation of vaporizer manufacturer. Second...my 
attempt to treat as many yards as possible with each round. I'm working 
alone at this, and with 35 yards to treat, I decided on a 7 day rotation. 
I'm sure some of the phoretic mites will re-enter brood, but I think most 
will be killed.

  I counted 24 hr stickies yesterday
>for a 2-week post follow up.  Mite levels were down to about 10-15.

What was the count pre-treatment?

Do you think that these might have raised their own queens, and aren't your 
VSH queens?
