    As someone who regularly eats 2x Spicy, the 3x Spicy version definitely hits harder but I prefer the taste of 2x Spicy

      Agreed. As a person who eats all of the spiciest hot ones sauces, I actually prefer the 1x spicy’s flavor!

        Me I feel like I’ve served my term, I raised and ate reaper peppers one year, and yeah they were spicy but they weren’t good. I can make much better sauces and such given peppers in the 10,000 to 100,000 scoville range.

          Yeah agreed. I’m way past the “so hot you can’t taste it anymore” phase. I still love a good hot sauce, but at this point what I’m most interested in is just the flavor.

          Agreed, most of the super hots aren’t actually very good tasting at all and you’d be better off sticking with a cayenne, hot Thai, or maybe a Red Savina. I have grown and had tons of super hots over the years and the only ones I actually likes were the Chocolate 7-Pots and Trinidad Moruga Scorpions. Even then, I would usually not use them in cooking as they just overpower everything with heat.

            Their Last Dab is the tastiest super spicy one in my opinion, very curry-ey. It’s not as spicy as some “less spicy” sauces, which was interesting to me. But most of the SUPER hot sauces are only okay, I agree.

              I have yet to try the Last Dab sauce as it is overpriced IMO. Your description of it does make me more interested though.

                It’s worth it. I’d say it’s priced okay. I’d pay 10-15USD for it cuz I don’t use it as quickly as other sauces. I DO put a lot into my Tikka Masala when I make it though!

                  When I last checked it was $40 for a bottle. $10-$15 is absolutely fine. I clearly need to look harder for a good price.

                    JEEEEEZ yeah absolutely not for that price! I haven’t checked Heatonist lately but it was definitely under 20 when I got it last!

            Habaneros can bring a nice flavor, but if they’re the primary note in a dish it’s too much. You need some sweet and some tangy in with them.

                habanero dill pickles. I may have to try that if I get enough cukes this season. I didn’t plant any habaneros this year though.

                  Oh it’s perfect! We slice them into circles and leave the seeds in, the pickles turn out perfectly spicy. I’m sure yours will turn out amazing!
