With multiple vaporizers, last November I easily treated 100 colonies per
day. The larger the operation, the more vaporizers that are needed. Total
time, including cool down, was about 4 minutes per colony.

I didn't have any problems with my vaporizers burning out. A time trial
must be done, to find how long it takes to vaporize the 2g of OA. This is
done outside the hive. This is then the time allowed for the vaporizer to
be energized within the hive. This helps prevent the vaporizer from
overheating.
