A rather interesting realization...any idea how I can build up a tolerance quickly?

There is a way people in India build up their tolerance. After you do this with your ghost peppers nothing else seems to be hot!

I ate nothing hot for like 16 months and then ate a Moruga Scorpion. I guess it worked. To build a tolerance, just eat the very hottest thing you have. Then, everything else won't seem as hot,

exactly the philosophy i had in mind

Well, I don't eat superhots by themselves. That's just insane heat! And the after affects aren't worth it for me when I have to be on my A game at work. But, I do eat a whole one or more in most of my meals. Kinda spreads it out over a whole meal(a HOT meal), instead of just a few bites.  I started with habs in my meals and then moved up when it wasn't hot enough anymore. I'm at 2 Naga Morich pods in a meal for my upper limit now. But this year will stepping it up with a bunch of Trinidad and 7-pot/pod varieties!!  
 
So put them in food and increase the amount when you can handle it easily.
