I realize superlatives like "hottest" are somewhat subjective, but objectively speaking, some of these don't belong in the "hottest" category (though they make for a more diverse garden).Eeeeeeee! said:
Juanitos nailed a lot of them, and as I mentioned before, superlative lists can be confounded by subjectivity arguments (e.g. what one guy thinks is the hottest, someone else thinks is child's play, and everything in between). This is further complicated by untested cultivars, and variations in cultivation techniques. Two growers could use the same seeds, and get different heat from their end product thanks to variables like soil, watering, oxygen, humidity, harvest timing, etc. Worse still, you have varying qualities of seeds among the same strains. One person could have a Bhut Jolokia pod that feels like a Red Savina Habanero heat-wise, and another could have one from high quality stock and the heat feels record breaking. The inability to account for these variables can be confounding, so it's best to get your seeds from well established top sources.
Some will probably quibble over the ordering of these, or want to knock a few off the list, and it is inexact, but it's close in my mind due to limited first hand experience, and/or consensus from the scene. That all said, objectively speaking, asuming all requisite conditionsand variables are accounted for, I think it's probably something like this:

That all said, objectively speaking, asuming all requisite conditionsand variables are accounted for, I think it's probably something like this:
- Chocolate Bhutlah/ or Bhutlah (these are unstable but worth a nod at this point)
- Chocolate Brain Strain (Also unstable but has been consistently hot)
- Trinidad Moruga Scorpion
- Carolina Reaper (I put this lower because there's a lower chance of you getting your hands on Ed Currie's testing grade seed stock)
- Trinidad Scorpion Butch T
- 7 Pot Douglah
- 7 Pot Brain Strain
- 7 Pot Bubblegum and 7 Pot Primo
- 7 Pot Jonah
- 7 Pot Barrackpore and Naga Viper
- Black Lava 7 Pot
- Defcon 7
- Borg 9
