>I love OA,  simple and effective,  but a lot of data and real word experience shows it can be a bit sensitive in dribble form,  the line between effective and dangerous is closer than one would like, making it easy to OD a hive, compared to vapors which it appears about impossible to damage a hive.  

That has been my experience. I deliberately tried to od a 5 frame nuc a few years ago. Hit it with 5gm OAV 3 days in a row. I saw no damage to brood or the hive. It went on like it's sisters next door that only got one treatment.
