So a few days ago, I ordered something from a vaping site. Vaporrange.com. Well I look at my credit card today and it was maxed out. Already called the card company. I ordered something before from the site with my debit card. I don't understand how whomever got my cc info and decide to use a site I've brought from before. Never used my cc there before. How did this happening? I wondering was this something on my end with being careless or what? My debit card is fine, just my cc was raided.

Is that site the only place you've used that CC or just the last place? Just because it was the last place doesn't mean it was the place responsible for you CC info being stolen.

Get a bank statement pronto and go through all the purchases, contact the bank asap about any suspicious purchases.
They may refund if you haven't made them.

Could have been keylogging software, unless you saved all the details in a handy file for them to find.....
I've seen numpties save pics on Photobucket of their Credit Cards, front and back :eek:

You are in the US, then US rules & laws.

If you used a credit card... You will not be liable, since your card number was used fraudulently and your card was not stolen (per the FTC and FBCA ). Read the last sentence in the quote below.
And, when the charges are investigated & shown fraudulent, they should remove them.
Read this at the FTC about the FBCA Rules--> http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0213-lost-or-stolen-credit-atm-and-debit-cards
How to Limit Your Losses
The Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) and the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) offer protection if your credit, ATM, or debit cards are lost or stolen.

Credit Card Loss or Fraudulent Charges
Under the FCBA, your liability for unauthorized use of your credit card tops out at $50. However, if you report the loss before your credit card is used, the FCBA says you are not responsible for any charges you didn’t authorize. If your credit card number is stolen, but not the card, you are not liable for unauthorized use.

It could be a worker at the place of business who is copying the card numbers and using them or selling them to others, be they individuals or organized.
You may want to report it to your local authorities or your state attorney general office.
Whatever you decide, report it and make sure the card company issues a new renumbered card.
And, keep an eye on your other accounts.
You can, also, put a lock on your credit for thirty days so no one can open any loans or accounts in your name.

Goodluck.
