I was curious about Pure Capsaicin so i did a bunch of googling to find the best deal i could and found
16 MILLION SHU PURE CRYSTALS...
Finally decided and ordered
Shipping was fast and they sent me a free sample of their extract (i dont care for extract) and a big old bag of ghost pepper powder to go with it... Being a dumbass I dipped in a toothpick into the pure crystals cause i wanted to see if it was really no flavor and just heat... wiped the tip of it on my tongue and for a minute i thought i got ripped off... No heat at all... nothing happened... For a good minute i was pissed... THEN OOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! From what i was told by the people at firehousechilli is it could have been because i drank a bunch of water before i did that outta nerves and the crystals arent water soluble so the burn didnt start till the crystals came into contact with something in my mouth that was fatty or oil based...
AND YUP!!! absolutely no flavor.. Just pure pain... And i cant believe the deal either.. Just a half an ounce of pure crystal...
no alcohols or solvents to make it seem like its more than it is... Its easily the best deal you can get on Pure Capsaicin...
No fancy packaging or gimmicks, just pure pain...
After trying the pure im gonna pass the extract to a friend.. has a definite pepper odor to it.. I love peppers, but sometimes you just want the pepper heat and not the flavor... If i want the flavor, ill just use my own...
Time to shovel some snow...
Later
