The Diablo is a fair bit warmer than the Fire, but I agree not the best taste. I eat more spicy things than anybody that I know personally, and at most i’d give it a 2/10 on a heat scale, probably more like a 1 actually. That’s pushing it. It’s nothing that’s going to burn your mouth.
The two sauces that I really have been meaning to get are Thor’s Hammer and Exhorresco. These are probably two of the hottest sauces out there that are not using extract. I use my extract sauces every day, but they’re always mixed in with something because it’s just pure heat and no flavor.
Not a sauce, but if you like spicy, Paqui’s Ghost Pepper chips are actually pretty hot. I’ve never had their one chip challenge with the Carolina Reaper. But this is a legitimately spicy chip. I’ve got them a couple times from the local gas station, usually around $2 for a smallish bag. Hotter than Diablo sauce and I’d say a solid 2/10 heat wise.
I’ve also gotten the puree pepper squeeze tubes at Aldi’s a few times. I don’t remember getting a ghost pepper one. But I’ve certainly gotten the jalapeño, habanero, and carolina reaper. The jalapeño has the best flavor. I use it the most but very little heat. Still way less flavor than fresh pods. The habanero is ok, just not much flavor to me. Heat wise it’s maybe a 1.5/10. The Carolina Reaper paste was actually the first time I tasted the reapers. I wasn’t really impressed with the taste. It’s kinda bitter and was way way less hot than I was expecting. I’d say 3/10 heat wise is generous.
I had a friend bring me a bottle one time and I had to throw it out. 1 teaspoon ruined a pot of chili I made. I remember it was in the top 10 hottest and it had a warning tag on it. You could literally dip a toothpick in it and lay it on your tongue and it would make your eye’s water in 20 seconds. I will try and find it again even though I do not suggest it to anyone. Sometimes “HOT” sauce is taken too far. My stomach cant handle spices much anymore.
My gf got me a bottle of Ass-Burner Surprise or something similarly named. Yeah, looked a rather harmless green, put a small dot on my index finger (sesame-seed sized, if that) and touched it to my tongue. Was as if someone took a hole-puncher and put a few holes through my tongue.
Shouldda never put my tongue back into my mouth, because that was when the contagion spread. Felt as if I just gulped a nice big bowl of molten lava.
I’m not to much on super hot sauces, but I was visiting a buddy down in New Iberia, LA this past weekend & tried these. I must say they were unusually good.

The ‘Hot Sauce’ was great.
The ‘STB’ was good to, but it was the ‘hot’ limit for me.
I tried a tiny bit of ‘STB Black Label’. …. it was too hot for me.
Must try some, just based on the review. :laughing:
The issue is the sequel. The encore. The second coming. Now, admittedly, I had a lot of this salsa in a short amount of time, but basically you can go to the legendary sugar free gummy bear reviews on this site and add in horrendous burning pain like passing a napalm coated cactus, and that would summarize my afternoon after eating this salsa.
I need some help. Where can I buy some really hot chilli sauce? I am looking for a reliable store or a seller that ships to Slovakia and accepts paypal payment. Thank you for your help!
Even a lame non-cook like me can avoid industrialized, chemical laden concoctions. Commercial Hot sauces around NE Brazil are normally watery cayenne compositions, or expensive imported Tabasco variations. They heat up the back of the mouth, throat and rest of the digestive tract.
Anybody who is into good flavor buys ‘pimenta do cheiro’ (smell/taste peppers). Flavorful and seemingly too hot at first, the front of your mouth, tongue, and nose get the hit, instead of your guts.
I never feel discomfort down below.
You can buy flashlights and hot sauce at Wally World if that’s your taste, but a flashaholic forum has talent for experimenting.
Vinegar and salt give peppers long life, customizing is helped by garlic, sugar, spices and seasonings. Vinegar alone (apple or rice) is all you really need, cooked or not, you can mod to your taste with tomato puree, sauce, or extract if you prefer.
Some peppers are bland (bikini, bird peppers, dedo da moça), you can add scorchers or tame with sugar, vinegar, even dairy.
Every sauce can be a new experiment, like modding flashlights.
With the variety of fresh peppers now available at supermarkets in the USA……just use gloves, clean your skin with oil afterwards, and keep your fingers away from mucous membranes.
