See if your bank can do you a global credit card which is like a debit card but seperate from your main bank account (also like the pre-pay credit cards you can buy in walmart) that you add money to when you need to use it at stores or online.

That's what I did. My husband is retired and we live on a fixed income... every penny counts and we have very little margin for mishaps. We don't have credit cards and I had to figure out how to get my vaping supplies without PayPal. I started out with a greendot card but I wasn't nuts about the reload fee. So we opened an account with our bank that we use only for online shopping. We electronically transfer just enough money from our main checking account to the shopping account to cover each order and then use the shopping acct's debit card to order stuff.
 
ok,i found this one JOYE eGo Personal Vaporizer E-Cigarette / FREE SHIPPING For Sale and they take paypal,is it a good price...
I started with a 510 - and it was good enough to make me realize I liked vaping more than cigarettes and didn't need them anymore. 510 atarter kits are pretty inexpensive. BUT - I liked it so much that in 2 weeks I bought an ego so that I wasn't constantly switching out batteries. I would have saved money going directly for an ego. I sent my 510 to my brother though - so now he will get to enjoy it nd quit as well. On the plus side - a lot of the parts on a 510 kit also fit the ego so if you buy an ego later - all is not wasted. But - I would just go straight for an ego if I had to do it all over again.

Vaping will save you tons of money! Sure - you have to invest anywhere from 30-60 bucks for the unit initially. But after that - all you basically need is juice. I just got enough juice to last me for 2 months minimum for 30 dollars (on sale from freedomsmoke USA). Compared to my 10 dollar a day habit (300 bucks a month in cigarettes!) - I'm now spending 15 bucks a month in juice.

You'll love it. You'll spend some money initially trying different flavors of juice - but you'll still end up spending much less than cigarettes.

It's not a bad price; you could do better, you could do worse, espcecially given that it includes shipping. My biggest qualm at this moment though is that it looks like a RiVa, not an eGo...the gold band rather than silver, the button, and the mAh (if memory serves, eGo is 650 and 900 and RiVa is the 750). Which is not really a bad thing in and of itself. I have both and love my RiVa. However, if they're getting creative about what the product is, I get a little suspicious. I'm not familiar with that web site and I don't know what kind of dispute protection they have in case you're unhappy. Even though it is paypal, I don't know if they would stand behind with their buyer's protection given that it's a product that violates their TOS.

Its fine to start with a 510 starter kit or an 808, and some extra liquid bottles. That will keep it cheap, get you off cigs, and get you saving money. This time next month, that 60 bucks that was hard this month, will be a piece of cake to get some upgrades. Start the ball rolling and it will gain speed before you know it.

I agree with you on this. That button doesn't look like the one on my eGo and I know mine is not 750. I have never seen a RIVA in person but it doesn't look like an eGo.

greenhouseone has paypal's logo on their site but shipping may be long since they are in China.

I did it, i purchased a kit from greenhouseone,plus some extra flavors to try...thanks for all the replies...

You won't regret it. I started with the eGo and found it simple to use and had pretty darn good battery life. Now you just have to sit and wait patiently, which can be pretty hard. Once you get a tracking number, you'll wear out the refresh button. I almost wish there was a way to literally follow it every mile instead of just from check-in point to check-in point. Now you can just sit back and read, but don't feel bad if it doesn't all make sense. Once you have it in your hands, a lot of things that come up on the forums becomes clear. I don't know if you've done it yet, but I'm sure if you search You Tube, you can find some video reviews of the eGo and see it in action.

Congrats on a great first purchase!!
