Scorpion pepper. Got through it with a lot of sweating and hiccuping (first time that was ever my reaction to heat, so that was fun). The rest of the day my stomach felt off, but not enough to make me sick. The next day though it felt like I shat out a nest of scorpions, but after that I was fine.

I find jalapenos to have a spicy flavour, when I say this I mean its tastes pungent and more savoury and does tickle your tastebuds, but it doesn't hurt your lip or make you sweat after eating a few. Habaneros on the other hand I find to taste sweet and more pepper-like but will leave a burning feeling on your lip and halve you sweating after eating a few.

Golden habanero.

Seeing a lot of raw habaneros mentioned here.
I can conclude from this that they fucking suck but Mexicans have acquired a taste for them.
Americans are starting to enjoy ghost peppers but most of them are massive pussies.
Reapers are generally considered to be shit, but I have yet to taste them.
And finally, jalapeños are poor man's fodder, only enjoyed by those with the worst of taste buds.

Pretty correct.

Yeah they're great in cooking. And like the other dude said you don't just go straight from no heat tolerance to a habanero lol, work your way up. Eat jalapeños if you like them, when they lose their spice serranos are good, after that habaneros. Also shit like cow peppers are good, I think they're between jalapeños and serranos in heat, have a good flavor though sorta like a poblano but better.

carolina reapers. they were developed like an hour from where i live, and a mountain man sold me a jar of paste made of reapers, vinegar and a little brown sugar. needless to say, the only thing you can taste is fucking HEAT. i'm telling you, a pinky nail's worth of carolina reaper will ruin you. you can feel it in your stomach for hours afterward.

And fyi for thise that get mild habaneros sometimes keep in mind you have faggots that dont like heat . large usa and chinese plantations grow gmo watered down peppers. The mexican ones tend to be spicier and of course the carribean ones. Its all just a matter of what farm supplied your store at the time.
Also on a side note all super hot chiles are especially delicious if seared on a hot pan with a little lard
