Anyone have any experience with Vlad's Impact Chili?

I've got a bunch of pods on the plant waiting to ripen. To me, they look very much like standard red Bhut Jolokias, but we'll see. Once they ripen and I can taste them, I"ll have more feedback.

Does the foliage look like your standard c.chinense?

I've had a bunch ripen, they seem to be Bhuts as far as I can tell. Taste is good, but again, like a Bhut.
I'm still waiting on them to ripen. I have a fair number on the plant. In every way, they look like standard Bhuts to me.
Picked one today:
Another angle so you can get a better sense of the shape of the pod:
Here's Vlad's pic of the parent (F1) for comparison:

I'm also holding a TS Morouga Blend in this photo in case you were wondering.
VERY interesting... It is quite similar to a bhut as well in appearance... Can we get some plant pictures?
If I remember next time I'm out there... however the tell tale trait is how the F2 is identical to the F1...
yeah I noticed that... crazy...
Well, I guess that answers that.

hum, these Impact F1 seeds I aquired have sprouted and are somewhat hairy... you can see it with the naked eye better than with the camera... but here are a couple of shots any way.
this one is reallllllllllllllllllllly overexposed, but you can see the hair pretty well.
These are better.
I hope its more than just a Hairy Bhut.
