How high is your heat level?

I have a higher tolerance than I did, say nIne months ago. Currently, jalapeños are barely noticeable and habanero products are about a medium. I haven't tried but I bet a fresh Hab would be hot. I ate
A fresh ceyanne last night and it was medium to me. I like to sample super hot products and use them sparingly on food.

Easy solition: Stop letting him tickle you.
I'll say this about tolerance - whenever I go to Chinese food I can't help but giggle when the waiter warns me about the scary Cayenne pepper in the Hunan & Sezschuan dishes. Like seriously dude? I eat like 20 of those crushed up on my pizza.
Habs are still hot to me though. Not "slap me on the ass and call me Sally" hot, but I get a plenty good burn from biting a raw hab.

I've gotten to the point now where the hottest sauce available at Hooters barely affects me at all. I'm looking to go to BW3's soon to try out some of their hotter fare, since their sauces easily outnumber the ones at Hooters.
i feel that torturing myself eating whole super pods makes eating spicy food more enjoyable. Now when i eat the spiciest meal at a restaurant i can take in all the flavors and not focus on the burn. The burn is still there, it just feels better

Went to Hooters again yesterday just before going to see Dark Knight Rises. The waitress there and I got to talking and she told me that they had some habanero bbq sauce in the back, and asked if I wanted to try some as a dip, I gladly agreed, and let me tell you, I was unimpressed. I barely felt a darn thing. A couple minutes later, the burn in the back of my mouth reached its maximum which wasn't much. She and I both laughed because usually its the other way around, that people could barely handle it, but I used it as a dip for my fries, and went through it like most people go through ketchup.
I am all about the flavor - what good is heat if you can't taste the food? But don't misunderstand - my heat tolerance is a lot higher than most people's. I love the flavor of douglah, for example. But I also love the flavor of jalapenos, poblanos, and other mild peppers. Aji habaneros, for example, borders on sweet; it's got a wonderful flavor and have just a tiny bite. I rarely cook with aji habaneros because they're just too fun to snack on right off the plant.
Ultimately, I like variety, and that includes the heat level. Sometimes I like it hot, sometimes not, and other times in-between. But again, my major focus is flavor. Pork almost screams for fatalii flavor. My molasses cookies are absolutely BEST with douglah flavor. So ultimately it depends upon what I am cooking, when deciding which pepper and heat level I'm going with.
But let's also face it - heat can be FUN! Doing pepper-infused shots with friends is a good time!

That definitely does sound like fun! I actually began seeing billboards for pepper-infused vodkas, and a couple of my friends who are into the club scene say they appear to be all the rage...
I have a very high tolerance to heat. Everything i eat has to atleast have a little spice to it. Even as a kid, i was sucking on hot sauce packets instead of a bottle 
mine is wayyy to high. i have been munching in the mourga blend since friday. No cramps. The douglahs i had last weekend gave me bad cramps. Have i lost my sense of hotness?

LOL - No. You should be aware that, even coming from the same at about the same time, individual pods have their own heat level. So you may have had some mild morugas and extra-hot douglahs, a very common thing.

My heat level is very high as seen on my yt vids lolBut it's just a once in awhile kinda thing, If I ate a super hot pod every day , I would really be paying for it! LOL
I've got relatives that are convinced my GI tract has been sterilized by all the hot stuff I've eaten lol
Haha, ditto! I will never get a tape worm or anything like that
One guy on youtube watched my vids and said I was one crazy bastard lol

Yeah, my folks got me a gag gift for Christmas last year, consisting of a 4-pack of hot sauces, and I went through half of each bottle in the span of a few days. My mom was amazed I suffered nealy no ill effects, save for farting once or twice.
Haha, Nice!!! I go through my hot sauces too!

Thing is, they weren't overly strong either, even for non Chiliheads. The hottest was the habanero, but didn't feel like a habanero.
