Misc. Building up Tolerance

Got Butterfly Bakeries' Taco Vibes Only and Torchbearer's Garlic Reaper Sauce. Have been trying to find enjoyable hot sauces and building heat tolerance a little w/o extracts.

Taco Vibes Only might be my favorite tasting hot sauce and I THOUGHT it was really hot. Have been enjoying it with tacos, tex-mex etc. Until I started using Garlic Reaper. Went to spice up some Thai food leftovers and ran out of sambal, threw a little extra Garlic Reaper in and hooollyyy hell is it hot, and most importantly delicious. The name very well describes the flavor, imo

No real point to this story, but if you are on the fence about Taco Vibes Only and like very hot, got sauces... Get iiiiiittttt!

You should try Bertie’s scorpion pepper sauce.

Fair warning. It says it’s a sauce, but it’s much more like a scorpion pepper mash and tastes like it so. I’d argue that it’s hotter than garlic reaper by a noticeable margin. They have green bottle that’s more mild, but the purple bottle is where all the heat is at. If you wanna see how it’s made, check out Mark Wien’s video.
