How are YOU paying for your vape purchases?

[Elizabeth Baldwin]

I pay as I go. I don't charge things. I use to have many cards but realized you can't ever actually pay them off that way. I paid them all off and only use money I have. I spend a lot on vape gear and DIY stuff all the time. I spend anywhere from $100 a week to $300 a week. It's a hobby for me.

including myself, there are 5 vapers on my vape budget.

according to my sigbanner, i'll be in the black within a week or two. actually, i might be in the black now if i don't count a couple of nickel and dime purchases. that's counting since november and i have nearly everything i'll need to get us all into 2015 by a few months already.

my sigbanner only accounts for my past smoking habits. they're all in the green... far, far in the green.

not to mention, i have a full lab including a magnetic stirrer for titration (nic level testing), an ultrasonic cleaner for speed steeping, and good mods and toppers for everyone including a few MVP IIs, a couple provarii, a REO grand, a few mech mods and backups.

i buy everything with money that i already have.

I set $10 aside each week on my blue bird card and hope I can save up enough to get what I need to have to keep me vaping for a while. In theory I am hoping to save up this time to get a mod. But I have a bad habit of dipping into my vaping allowance for flavors or ATTYs and have yet to save enough for a new shiny.

At first I set my budget at half my previous cig budget and am now down to a third of that monthly. I have all month to decide my purchases for next month and when my retirement comes in I buy what I have finally decided on with a debit/credit card. I try to buy in bulk to get free shipping on most orders. I am completely stocked and really don't need anything at this point other than maintenance items and a new rba/battery to try out every so often.

i have a Dibi, but i just pay for what i want out of my weekly(weakly perhaps) earnings. I regard money spent on good, well used mods as the price to pay for keeping off ciggies and despite my profligate spending, i am ahead on that deal.

Those savings - well my wife spends them!

I pay as I go never using a credit card. Been there done that, I don't want to fall back into that hole. If I don't have the cash for something I don't buy it.

 

[erikbal]

I always buy with money I have. If I want something and don't have the extra money then I don't get it until I do. Or like last time when I really wanted a Nautilus I won a little money at the casino and ordered one with a 5 pack of coils. I love when the casino pays for things for me!

Do you pay as you go when you have the $ or do you rack up debt on a credit card?

Option "C" for me. Got Mrs. Kodiak a 3rd job.

We believe in keeping the CC charges to a minimum. Zero if possible. Wasn't so bad at 2% APR but those days are long gone.

Social Security checks pay for my vaping goodies!
Sometimes I feel like I overspend, but $450 in 6 months isn't bad. It's only a little more than I would have spent on RYO, and I have liquid / supplies to last me a year.

I am mostly debt-free now (yay!) and while I do have some credit cards for emergencies like vet bills I only use the Amazon Rewards card regularly - use it for almost everything and pay it off monthly. So basically it's pay as I go. I also get paid through PayPal since my company is in France and I'm in the U.S., so I don't transfer each paycheck in entirety to my bank account. This way I always have a decent PayPal balance and can either pay straight through PayPal or use the PayPal debit Mastercard at places that don't take PayPal directly.

Funny thing about credit cards - the more you pay them off the more they increase your limit hoping you will use it.

 

[sawtoothscream]

paypal or debit card. whatever they take.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

I take to the streets...

 

[patkin]

What went toward smokes now goes to vaping.... bought in the same way... cash only.

 

[RogerWilco357]

cash via paypal or debit no credit cards ...

 

[chanelvaps]

Pay for all by credit card. Like the protection it offers. Like the points I earn. Pay credit card in full when the bill comes. ONLY way.

 

[iacchus]

I have a Google wallet card (it's a mastercard) that I put a set amount in every week. I use it for vape purchases, mostly. Every now and again I will pick up something from an individual or company with PayPal, but those purchases are usually pretty small <$100.

I don't order anything unless I have the money for it. I have more than enough vape gear, so it isn't like I would go without.

 

[colinb913]

For the most part my cc. I dug myself out if the credit card debt hole and learned my lesson. So I'm comfortable enough to trust myself to use it properly.

 

[oxidus]

I get paid monthly, and I buy monthly. Yay for ancient COBOL system that don't handle dates very well

 

[Jarbs]

I pay with salt

 

[kc0716]

It's the same as how I spend money for hobby.

If I have consistent cash flow but not much spare money at the time, I swipe with my creditcard, making sure I can pay off the full amount with the next pay check.
