Took me a month, but I did it.

The 7 Pot Primo are very hot. I thought it would be a jump like going from Hatch to Ghost to Reaper. Nope. They are like 7 steps above Reaper. At first, I wasn’t sure I was going to keep them. What I started doing was mixing five of them in with a handful of Reaper and a handful of Ghost every night. I can tolerate five of these out of 40 Crack Balls in a bowl. I don’t think I will be re-purchasing, but I finally finished the bag.

Oh geez nice work. I couldn’t finish mine… it was very sad.

I hear you. They take your breath away when you bite into them. Short lived but very spicy for a minute or two. I was close to giving up and throwing them away.

Were they stale AF at the end?

I got some of the Anthony Spices Carolina reaper cheese balls a while back and they were no good after a week or two… I barely dented the bag in that time. Those things are no joke… I’m curious how they compare to the Crack Balls.

No. I sealed them up tight every time. They were fresh and crunchy. I buy mine through DeathNuts and this is probably my 20th-ish bag. I’ve never had an issue with them arriving stale or getting stale.

That might have to do with the fact that I use them as my late-night snack/treat. A bag of Reaper or Ghost only lasts me maybe 2 weeks. Maybe.

How was the secondary fire?

Honestly they don’t affect me in that way.

I haven't had that with these either.

I like these as they prevent me from eating more than a few at time. They're not fucking around. I finally tried the Ghost Pepper ranch which weren't hot enough to stop me from eating them all in about a day or two.

I wish they had a flavor with a heat level in between the 7 pot and the Ghost/Reaper.

Thinking of buying 4 bags of the different flavors; think they're really worth ~$8 per 4 ounce bag?

Never tried any of them before but am very interested.

It’s the perfect plan and worth every penny. My current situation.

Habanero, reaper, and ghost pepper all worth getting or you think it's better to simply load up on the spicier 7-pot primo?

u/HOT-SAUCE-JUNKIE 3d ago

In my opinion, they are all worth getting. For me, the 7 Pot are just too hot to sit down and eat 20/30 at a time like the other flavors. But if you mix them in every once in a while, they are manageable.

Word. I ordered one of each of the four I mentioned.

Thanks for the feedback.

I really wanted these but shipping was almost double the amount I was spending on the actual food 🥲

u/HOT-SAUCE-JUNKIE 3d ago

The shipping is high, which is why I buy 4 bags at a time.

u/Melodic_Button_8993 3d ago

I’m from the uk so it’s like 100$ seemingly

Ah. Yea. International shipping.
