I have used cannabis since my teenage years and have personally reviewed over thirty disposables. As such, I am often skeptical of new products, but after reviewing the Sluggers Gram Slam Disposable 2g.
I believe it has lived up to nearly all of its claims, providing a strong and tasty experience that sets itself apart in the competitive world of disposable vaping products. It is designed to make a real difference in your vaping experience with big flavors, big potencies, and unique strain-specific experiences.
Product Overview and Specs
The Sluggers Gram Slam Disposable 2g is an all-in-one disposable cannabis vaporizer that is pre-filled and meant to be disposed of once the 2 gram cannabis oil has been consumed. The Gram Slam is extremely easy to use and does not require any loading or complicated setup; unlike most simple disposables, the Gram Slam has numerous premium features that add to the overall experience.
Some of the key specs as determined through my review and information about the product include:
- Capacity: 2 grams of cannabis oil.
- Battery: Rechargeable battery with USB Type-C charging port.
- Heating System: Ceramic coil. Ceramic coils are widely recognized as producing consistent, smooth vapor and maintaining flavor.
- Features: Draw-activated firing (no button to push to fire), Cold Start Function (to help reduce heat on the first pull), Pre-heat Function (to prevent clogs).
- Cannabinoids: Offered in a variety of cannabinoids, including blends of THCP, HHC, and Delta-9, allowing users to choose what type of experience they desire.
- Testing Lab: Made in the USA and lab-tested.
Size, Look, and Feel
From the moment I opened the box, I was impressed by the sleek and modern design of the Gram Slam. Although it has a large and impressive look, it is lightweight and sits well in the hand. The construction feels sturdy and not cheap or flimsy like some disposables. Overall, the design and ergonomic aspects of the Gram Slam are able to successfully combine the ability to be carried discreetly in a pocket with a high-end feel.
How to Use: Power, Basic Operations, and Functions
Another one of the biggest advantages of the Gram Slam is how easily it can be used, whether you are a beginner or someone who has been using cannabis vaporizers for years.
- Power & Activation: The Gram Slam uses a draw-activated firing method. There is no button to turn the Gram Slam on or off for normal use—you simply inhale from the mouthpiece to activate the heating element.
- Pre-Heat Function: In addition to improving performance, especially with thicker oils, the Gram Slam also has a pre-heat mode. To access the pre-heat mode, you simply press the button three times. This will lightly warm the oil to an ideal temperature for flow and helps to avoid clogs.
- Inhaling: To get the most out of the Gram Slam, it is best to slowly take long, steady pulls. This will allow the ceramic coil to properly vaporize the oil, creating smooth, rich flavor and great vapor.
Strength and Effects
The Sluggers Gram Slam is where the device really excels. The effects are strong and the effects come on quickly. I tested the Lemon Cherry Gelato hybrid strain, and the experience was robust. The hybrid produced a well-balanced effect—first as a cerebral and uplifted experience and then melting into a very relaxing physical experience.
Because of the variety of options available with the types of cannabinoids and strains available, users can select the exact experience they are looking for:
- Sativa-leaning options (e.g. Euphoria, Rainbow Road, NY Diesel) are best suited for daytime energy and creativity.
- Indica-leaning options (e.g. Bubble Bath, Fire OG) are best suited for nighttime relaxation.
- Hybrid options (e.g. Lemon Cherry Gelato, Runtz, Apples and Bananas) are best suited for a balanced, versatile experience at any time.
Performance
Due to the combination of the ceramic coil and the Cold Start Function, the Gram Slam produces extremely smooth and consistent vapor from the very first pull to the last. I did not notice any harshness or burn taste in the vapor, which is something that many inferior devices suffer from.
The Gram Slam is another area in which it excelled. The device produced a high-quality experience from beginning to end. The draw-activated firing mechanism allowed every hit to feel identical, something that many disposable devices fail to do.
The pre-heat function on the Gram Slam prevented any clogging issues throughout my testing period, a problem that many oil-based vaporizers struggle with.
Flavor and Strains
The flavor is a major advantage of the Gram Slam. The flavor profile of the Gram Slam is exceptional. The flavor of the Lemon Cherry Gelato that I tested was rich, vibrant and clearly defined—a combination of sweet berry and citrus with a creamy, gelato-like finish. The ceramic coil does a superb job of preserving the terpenes associated with each strain, allowing you to enjoy the true essence of the strain without experiencing a fake or overpowering flavor.
Sluggers provides a wide variety of strains for the user to choose from:
Charging and Battery Life
The rechargeable battery is charged through a modern USB Type-C port, which is quick and convenient.
- Battery Performance: Through my testing, the battery life was sufficient, but not superior. For moderate usage, the battery lasts approximately two days. More heavy usage may result in the need to charge the battery more frequently than desired. It is recommended to keep a USB-C cable readily available.
- Charging: The process of charging is easy. Simply plug a USB-C cable into the port (located on the bottom of the device) and connect it to any conventional power supply (such as a laptop or wall charger). A glowing LED light will indicate that it is charging, and the light will cease to glow when fully charged. The device also supports pass-through charging, so you can continue to use the device while it is charging.
What Does the LED Light Mean?
While I was unable to find a detailed description of the LED lights used on the Sluggers Gram Slam through my research, I would assume that the LED light is similar to what is commonly found on vaping devices and performs two primary functions:
- Charging Status: Steady light (commonly white or blue) while charging. Light ceases to glow when fully charged.
- Low Battery Alert: Blinking light while drawing likely indicates that the battery level is low and should be charged.
To determine the precise meaning of these indicator lights, it is recommended to refer to any included documentation regarding user instructions.
Final Thoughts
The Sluggers Gram Slam Disposable 2g is a premium disposable vape device that lives up to the hype. It is a top-of-the-line option for anyone seeking a portable and hassle-free vaping experience with the benefits of a high-quality vaporizer.
