C'mon! I like heat as much as (or more than) the next guy, but I got myself in trouble once with too many habaneros in a dish (stomach hurt like hell for a couple of days -- and then the next part) and then more recently over did a Scorpion pepper sauce (seemed to blister my mouth, but was illusory). Yeah, this seems more like a weapon of mass destruction!
 
I also like a little to a moderate amount of heat, but with my meds if I overdo it life becomes very miserable. So, I pretty much stick to jalapenos.

Rumor has it that one of the frats where I went to college had discovered a drink called a double draft furnace or a prairie fire (depending on where you came from.) It was equal parts tequila and Tobasco (tm) sauce. The frat found out that one of the downtown bars bought the sauce in gallon jugs. They proceeded to drink the bar dry one night and discovered that it burned leaving as well on the following morning.

I can handle a decent amount of heat, Scotch Bonnets or Habaneros are plenty for me though. Plus I really like their flavors!

Exactly! Ratiional (though most call it irrational) heat is just fine so long as they provide good flavor. Ghost peppers are my current favorite. The Scorpion pepper sauce i have (almost gone a few drops at a time) didn't offer any flavor, just unreal heat. Beyond that, anyone wants to claom flavor, they are welcome to it!

My wife made "bbq" beans yesterday for a community get together. I'm reworking leftovers by adding some smoked andouille from a month or so back. Also added a few drops of that Scorpion sauce for added heat without changing tbhe flavor. But like @Rich Dahl , I'd prefer using jalapeno or chipotle for custom flavor.
 
Not only all the heat but the thing looks disgusting. I would not want anything that ugly near my mouth hot or not
 
I like hot spicy foods but those two peppers (the Carolina Reaper and the X) sound a little too hot. You do seem to build up a tolerance to hot peppers over time.
 
I had an uncle who was born in Sicily. He lived in California. My aint used to pack him a sack lunch every day and it was a sandwich and these little tiny VERY hot peppers. HE used to just snack on them. Looking back I am sure they were Thai Bird chilis. He used to just eat them like candy LOL
 
Smokin' Ed lives just south of Charlotte in Fort Mill, SC
His peppers and hot sauces are NUTS!
Give me some Tabasco and Phil is a happy dude!

On a side note, one of my grandsons has a taste for spicy foods. He's 8 and LOVES spicy food!
We have breakfast most Saturdays, and the restaurant we usually go to has a habanero braised pork belly egg benedict
On a whim, I ordered it 2 weekends ago and gave him a taste.
He liked it and asked if he could get some "spicy bacon" this week!
I told him yes, but he'd have to share with his Grumpy!
 
Yep, that'd be my undoing.

But I think the pepper spray comparison is kinda off: You don't dice, chop, cut, or otherwise dismantle a Reaper directly into your face. That's gotta hurt.
 
I do believe Ed Currie's fame would not exist if it hadn't been for people like Dave Hirschkop and Blair Lazar opening up people's senses to capsaicin's effects.
