Pepper Identification

I grew these hydroponically indoors and were just picked today. I noticed that the texture on these are not as "ripply" as those that I grew in soil. Both are from the same seed supplier. Any opinions, thanks!

There is some texture to them, just not as dramatic as my other plant. I guess I should of put something next to it for a size comparison. These are quite a bit longer than the habaneros.

I had some plants that at times grew smoother pods very similar to yours. Maybe a bit more tapered and deeper red. They also tended to be smaller pods than what I considered to be normal bhuts. The same plants would also, at times, produce "standard" bhut pods. I figured it was environmental but could also be a genetic influence. Taste wise, couldn't tell a difference.

None of mine were ever that fleshy. Does it smell like a habanero? Like Beaglestorm said about the taste, the smell is unique too.
Whatever it is it looks like a nice pepper.

I agree with Binchnunker, but will add that the first batch of pods I got from an over wintered but were smooth, small and fleshy, flavor and aroma being unchanged. The second batch were normal in appearance except were somewhat smaller.
