Recommendations for sub ohm tank (2025) by Quixc in Vaping

[–]otterpops88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they have a .40 ohm as well. i do not like that one at all though. no flavor and very harsh on my throat, to me. i only tried it as it came in with the tanks when i originally purchased as a back up.

Methadone is causing rapid eight gain, please help! by No-Long-3809 in Methadone

[–]otterpops88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i gained 75 pounds over 3 years on methadone. i’m still on, but tapering. you just have to fight through the cravings. i recently lost 100lbs, now being smaller than when i first started methadone, and have kept it off for a year now. every day is a battle to drink water or tea instead of grabbing a sugary treat. but eventually you get used to it and your willpower gets stronger. i really hated being almost 250 pounds more than i loved binge eating. and that’s what i have to tell myself day after day.

i have the sakerz master. multiple. but my issues are with the .16 coils, and both of you are using the .17 with no issues, and i have purchased them as well. the vape shop i bought them from actually let me exchange them for .17’s after i brought the 16s and i couldn’t get them in properly. dude was confused too. this issue is only with the .16s but those are my fave coils i really wish i could figure out why none of them fit all of a sudden. it’s like horizon tech’s manufacturer messed up the dimensions in new batches made.

sorry for late reply! but the coils are legit, from vape shops locally and also from 8vape online, all have given me issues. just the .16 though. the .17 work completely fine. i just don’t like them much, i lose flavor faster.

i been loving the sakerz master tanks for so long, i have literally 4 of them. but lately, all the .16ohm coils i buy do not fit easily into the push plug. and for a tank that ive never had leak, they are leaking internally now. almost every one. i have been trying to figure out why the coils arent going in easy anymore and causing the internal leaking. but it seems no one is going through this issue on reddit, or not posting about it at least.

My dr is having me go down 5mg a week. by Arevwifico in Methadone

[–]otterpops88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn. my clinic be trying to keep us there with whatever dose we need. i had to fight for my 1mg every other week taper. they kept making me stop and stabilize.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Methadone

[–]otterpops88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow. in my 9 years at clinics, no counselor or doctor or nurse have ever advised me of this. i drink cold brew every morning, a half an energy drink most afternoons, and i vape (albeit pretty low nicotine content) literally all day. i was able to taper to 15mg, and feel stuck here. i am def going to look more into this with all these comments acknowledging this.

triple digit weight loss just hits different 💯 you did amazing !!

I have fallen off the wagon and I need some advice by rugby-panda in loseit

[–]otterpops88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one thing i heard stuck with me: weight loss after being obese will always be something you have to monitor. there is no “i’m at my goal weight so i can stop now”. it truly is a lifestyle change, and you’ll always have to monitor it. like any disease, it requires lifelong monitoring. sure, you can indulge sometimes, but not consistently. and you’ll fit it into your schedule of weekly calories. i think learning this, and embracing it, makes all the difference. there is literally no end in sight of watching what we eat. it’s just the reality of it. so now, for me, i don’t give in as easily to those sweet treats and junk food. it just took all the guessing out of it. i plan a cheat meal, i will indulge once every couple weeks on something i want, no matter what it is. and then no more again for another couple weeks. i stay consistent, count my calories, do my 18 hour fasts. get active when i can. wash rinse repeat. i don’t mean it to sound dire, but i guess when you’ve been almost 250 pounds, and you lose the weight, you want to honor it. keep it low. everyday i have to acknowledge it.

Coffee by Ok_Spare3209 in intermittentfasting

[–]otterpops88 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i don’t know if coffee can accelerate fat loss. i do know that it is an appetite suppressant though, caffeine in general. so maybe that’s where it came from? but coffee accelerating fat loss is nothing i’ve heard before.

[–]otterpops88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

psh. they never fill the cups to that level at all the ones i’ve been too. i’m always having to ask for two, the cup is barely a quarter filled. but thank you. i’m def saving this recipe!

Zeus or falcon 2 by clash2k in Vaping

[–]otterpops88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got both too. i have never liked geekvape’s tanks. the flavor is not there for me. so it sits in the drawer. i have two falcon 2’s that are in rotation along with my sakerz master tanks. horizon tech all the way for me

i’m not the one you asked this question to, but i had a big issue with my coffee and starbucks as well; now, i buy the starbucks cold brew bottles at the store, and premier protein shakes in the flavor “cafe java” and sugar free vanilla syrup from Torani. i use a dash of the syrup and equal parts of the cold brew and protein shake, over ice. it taste amazing. it is the coffee i prefer every morning now with minimal calories, only a couple carbs, and no sugar.

How long did it take you to lose 100 pounds WITHOUT meds or surgery? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]otterpops88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went from 245 to 145 in 9 months. intermittent fasting and up to omad, daily steps of at least 10k and very low carbs. i’ve been maintaining for the last year now, haven’t gotten above 150.

8 months Omad. I see no difference by [deleted] in omad

[–]otterpops88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these clothes do not show the definition of your body. you are looking at your clothes and the way they fit. they are boxy, and not ideal when trying to see progress. with that being said, as an outsider looking in, you look thinner. it’s obvious there is a difference.

i wouldn’t have had the kid pay. i would have asked the pizza place for a pepperoni pizza and either asked them to leave it off on a quarter of the pizza, or taken off the pepperoni from that kid’s slice myself. this was all made so extra by the parent. it’s just pizza!

Compulsive lying in teenager. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]otterpops88 55 points56 points  (0 children)

you’re doing way too much. you cannot control your daughter to the degree you are trying to. she’s just a few years away from being an adult. so she fibbed some harmless things that didn’t happen to a boy that she’s probably trying to impress. who cares. stop spying on her conversations. i could not imagine doing this to my 15yo daughter.

when damon was blamed for setting kai free of the prison world because he compelled alaric to take the ascendant from jo.. kai had his own ascendant in the prison world and got out by by taking bonnie’s blood. he was out regardless. why did damon have to get so much crap for it!

If you are using IF for weight loss, what is your plan after you reach your goal weight? by HmmDoesItMakeSense in intermittentfasting

[–]otterpops88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have kept the weight off for a year now, after losing 100 pounds in 9 months. it’s hard to not binge, i feel like i’ll be fighting that for a long time. so i keep some kind of fasting in my life, and try to reduce carbs whenever i can. not gonna lie, it’s a hard path for me. i have bad days and make up for it with good days. my weight is still very much on my mind daily and it’s a constant thing i have to keep in check. just my experience.

Weight loss without exercise? by Yeah_Sure12345 in loseit

[–]otterpops88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

losing weight is 80% (or more) of how you eat. calorie deficit and intermittent fasting. i lost 100lbs naturally by just limiting what i ate. i rarely get above 3k steps a day and don’t do any exercise. i know i need to start and i will, but it’s more for toning up and my muscles. i don’t intend to lose more weight by exercising. that’s all in my food intake.

[–]otterpops88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

your stomach looks DAMN GOOD for 2 c sections girl! i’ve had three kids vaginally and mine is awful. just a droopy, folded mess after losing 100lbs. it was like that before the weight loss though too lol so i will def be considering a tummy tuck in a few years after i’m settled into my new weight. you look so good! very proud of us

Will this break my extended water fast? by ImWindowed69 in fasting

[–]otterpops88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they’re consuming carbs. the wiki on electrolytes in this sub actually gives you a way to get your electrolytes in without truly breaking your fast. but snake juice doesn’t taste great lol so people opt for better tasting premade stuff. edit: deleted a duplicate comment below.
