BYE BYE WASPS, MOSQUITOES & CO.!
With the VapoWesp smoker box for burning lit coffee powder and the fragrant Vapo powders, you can enjoy a relaxed summer outdoors. The rising smoke signals "danger" to all insects (since they are smoke escapers) and they buzz away - completely cruelty-free and without toxins!
SO SIMPLE YET SO EFFECTIVE!
Anyone who knows the old home remedy of smoking coffee powder against wasps, mosquitoes or insects probably also knows all the problems that come with it:
- unsuitable containers that get too hot,
- Smoke that cannot be regulated
- Coffee powder being spread all over the table by the wind.
With the VapoWesp smoker box we have put an end to all of this! Four pieces made of high-quality materials that counteract all of this. Try it yourself!
WHEN MOTHER AND DAUGHTER FOUND UP TOGETHER
We, Claudia and Leslie, the mother-daughter team from Stuttgart and founders of VapoWesp, had the brilliant idea while the world was sinking into lockdown and everything came to a standstill. With a lot of tinkering and attention to detail, we have adapted a well-known home remedy to new requirements and made it easier.
We are sure that with our smoker box not only we, but also many other people can finally enjoy a meal outdoors carefree and wasp-free.
Signing up for the TV show "The Lion's Den" was probably the best crazy idea we had in a brave moment, because suddenly an incredible journey began that continues to this day.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS | FAQs
Only fresh, dry coffee powder is suitable for smoldering in the VapoWesp smoker box, as it contains essential oils that enable smoldering. You can use any type of commercially available coffee powder (no ready-made cappucino mixes or similar).
Unfortunately, coffee that has already been brewed, i.e. old coffee grounds, is NOT suitable. Here the essential oils are completely washed out and can no longer be lit.
Unfortunately, smoldering coffee powder alone smells very strong and spoils the enjoyment of being outdoors. Our VapoPowders are specially developed herbal mixtures to flavor coffee smoke.
All herbal mixtures are organic quality. We have test certificates for the individual ingredients because it is very important to us to ensure insect-friendly production.
Since we buy our herbs in large quantities, our vape powders are significantly cheaper than commercially available herbs in organic quality.
However, if the smell of regular coffee smoke doesn't bother you, you can of course leave out the herbal mixtures. We'll leave that to your nose :)
Try it out! We have achieved the best smoldering ability of the coffee powder in the recommended mixing ratio - too much VapoPowder quickly smothers the embers.
Our recommendation: Mix 2 heaped teaspoons of fresh, dry coffee powder with a heaped teaspoon of VapoPowder of your favorite variety in the stainless steel container.
You can simply wipe the smoking box itself with a slightly damp cloth (without cleaning products, as the bamboo wood is untreated) - just make sure to store the box indoors in a dry place when you are not using it.
We recommend cleaning the stainless steel parts after every second use at the latest with common cleaning agents for stainless steel (stainless steel cleaner, oven spray, or similar) and some steel wool.
