Save 73% on this premium vaporizer bundle

26b36e46780c7c4897fbe4a2ff134982f2f7c16d_main_hero_image

These days, the vape market is saturated with low-quality products, making it nearly impossible to separate the gems from the duds. The Atmos Rx Dry Herb Vaporizer stands out from crowd for two reasons: its impressive battery life and durable construction.

This high-end little gadget is compact enough to fit in your pocket, and packs a powerful punch, too — up to 72 hours of vaping on a single charge.

The ceramic heating chamber is wickless and heats dry herbs or waxy oils, meaning you get the freshest pulls without all the gunk. And the included e-liquid adapter and two different e-liquid flavors mean you can vape whichever way you prefer (because some of us just prefer oils to dry herbs).

Vaporizer-Review.com calls the AtmosRx “one of the best pen-style vaporizers on the market, thanks to its durability and long battery life.”

Grab this deal with free shipping for just $59.99 (that’s 73% off the retail price) in the Boing Boing store. Read the rest

Learn how to build 14 websites with this Complete Web Developer course

completeweb

If you're looking to earn a top salary in the tech industry, there's no better career than coding. However, sometimes the hardest part of entering this career path is knowing where to begin.

We took the Complete Web Developer Course because it took that decision out of our hands. This course teaches beginner-friendly coding languages that will also help land an immediate position. We didn't want to spend hours studying a language only to realize it isn't even used anymore, and this course avoids that common mistake completely.

Packed with over 28 hours of course content, this course is awesome because it has you building sites yourself the entire time. By the end, you'll have a portfolio of work that will turn heads at companies like Twitter and Facebook. Course material includes:

Getting Started & HTML -  You'll learn to code with HTML, often thought of as the "build blocks" of the Internet.

CSS - You'll use CSS to control the layout and style of sites and apps.

JavaScript - You'll become fluent in JavaScript, the language that is responsible for the front-end of practically every site on the Internet.

You'll need to know all three of these languages to land any major coding position, and we think this course does a great job of laying them out in a digestible manner. For a limited time, you can grab lifetime access to The Complete Web Developer Course for just $14.99. Read the rest

With its 3.0 Amp HyperCharging technology, this slim battery will not only supercharge your phone, it’ll do it 2x faster than a typical wall charger.

Take it from us, nothing you find in a PokeStop will beat the value of this quality battery pack. Plus, even though the LinearFlux comes complete with a Lightning connector for your iPhone, you can charge much more than that: including your Apple Watch or your Android (using the extra USB-A port). Don’t wait too long to get yours: this 50% off deal can now be found in our store.

When carrying around a bulky DSLR camera isn't ideal, we use these impressive add-ons to help turn our smartphones into quality cameras. 

Flexible Tripod for Smartphones and Cameras

The Flexible Tripod for Smartphones and Cameras ($8.99) is perfect for capturing a group shot or leveling out your phone on an uneven surface.

We were impressed with its sturdy construction that can even support a digital camera or oversized phone.

Universal 3-in-1 Lens Kit for Smartphones & Tablets

If you really want to start taking next level pictures with your phone, we suggest you invest in the Universal 3-in-1 Lens Kit for Smartphones & Tablets ($11.99). These three lenses—fisheye, wide-angle, or macro—clip right onto your smartphone’s lens and help you take pictures that’ll look like they were taken with a much pricier device.
