    Vevor extractors again!!

    I believe so, there's a lot of American videos on YouTube of it being used, all be it different badges, Vevor, Vevo etc. but it appears to be the same extractor.

    Different cheap vape

    If it works it has the advantage over the pan type of being able to "inject" it into the hive, just like the gas vap or the more expensive models. Of course you need a 12v battery, but I have a small lightweight golf trolley battery. Unless someone who's used one tells me it's rubbish, I think...

    Different cheap vape

    The usual suspect, Ali express. In the add they say if the pipe becomes blocked, put water in the cup and the steam will clean it?

    Vevor extractors again!!

    OK, this is the latest. The supplier has been pretty easy to deal with. As we all knew, they are just a distributor, not a manufacturer. They blame their supplier for sending the wrong photos. As I said, they don't even know what's in the box. Anyway, they offered me a £20 discount, but I...

    Vevor extractors again!!

    They have come back to me, they wanted more info and photos to investigate. I still don't think they can do anything though, but you never know.

    Vevor extractors again!!

    I think it will still take 8 supers, just not radially. I'll have a play today, it was a bit late when it arrived. I can't see them changing the basket, as I said, I doubt they even know what's in the box, I'll see what they say. It seems to run fine, there's a squeak, but I'm pretty sure...

    Vevor extractors again!!

    It arrived today, not bad, less than a week. There's good and bad, some bad caused by the Yodel delivery driver, despite arrows a labels, it was delivered upside down. The only visible sign of any damage on the outer packing was a taped up hole. It got worse on the inside, see the photos. In...

    1st scout bees at bait boxes

    Went to take a bird box down yesterday to repair the lid, but a bumble bee has decided it likes it as it is. Trouble is its had bluetits in it every year for the past 11 years. I will partially inhibit the entrance and put a new box along from the old one with the hope the birds don't want to...

    Vevor extractors again!!

    Without a doubt. Germany has China's biggest distribution centre outside of China itself.

    Vevor extractors again!!

    Well, I've ordered one of these, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/386837681309?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=suqamru-sey&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=VO7Xd1wMQCe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Ended up paying a touch under £215, should be here in less than a fortnight. Two things though...

    Vevor extractors again!!

    No, I'm trying to do a deal on a unbadged electric one from Germany, it has the basket as post#8. I'm not having much luck. There's several on Ebay, but it seems it's one warehouse using different sellers names. It says make an offer but they all counter offer exactly the same amount which...

    Vevor extractors again!!

    Is it the unbadged electric one you have or the 4/8 vevor?

    Vevor extractors again!!

    Thanks, I had read that thread, but I was looking for more of a confirmation that the 4/8 the better option that it seems to be over the dearer 4 frame extractor. It seems counter intuitive that the bigger one is cheaper. The electric one seems a better deal possibly, although it's unbadged.
