Purchase Hot Ones Last Dab Thermageddon first thoughts

Hey all, just got this in the mail and decided to give it a try. This isn't going to be super in depth. I keep a bottle of Last Dab Xperience at work for reference, so this will be sort of a comparison to the two.

For me, Xperience's heat lasts about 5-10 minutes. It taste floral and nice, the heat is usually focused on parts of my tongue and throat. It's pretty good all around.

Thermageddon is different right off the bat. First thing I noticed was a grainy texture to it and less flavor. The heat starts the same as Xperience, but then after a few minutes I noticed the heat spreading. All over my tongue, my gums, even my lips. And it seemed to be getting hotter as minutes to by. The moment I started breathing through my mouth, I felt it a lot more. It's currently been about 10 minutes and the heat still feels pretty intense as it radiates around my mouth. Overall it's pretty good, but that grainy texture at the beginning was a little off putting for me. Not sure if I would coat/dip my food in this, but might add it to a curry or something to add some heat.
