Everything you need to know to be a chili head! Come on! I'm talking to you!

Man, ive been watching this channel for years. Never disappoints. Theres a reason this channel is awesome. No fancy graphics. No high production value. Just Johnny and his pepper know-how. Cheers family

[@Justmebeingme37]

Unfortunately, I'm a professional when it comes to raising my tolerance for things I shouldn't. Thanks for inspiring me to pick up a healthy addiction. There is nothing I don't mix with chilies or hot sauce. Thank you Johnny

[@m00se40]

It’s beautiful peppers are helping you with that

[@Sillywabbit5]

I just sent this video to my daughter, who’s a new chili head, and wants to gain tolerance. Thank you 😉

[@HeatCentric]

I've said this before, I'll say it again. Build your tolerance naturally. I thought Cayenne was super hot when I entered this journey. Then, I kept needing more to get the same level of heat. I started to appreciate the flavor of peppers other than just thinking it's hot. Now, I'm addicted to the pepper world and super hots. I do challenges because I think they're fun and to see what I can handle. I love this pepper world and the thrills it gives me.

Ive told this story here before. But my cousins daughter grew some scorpion peppers just for fun. I chugged 2 beers, no food, and ate that scorpion. Oh man never never never on an empty stomach again!!!

[@gamerjaqi7873]

Hey Johnny ❤ thank you for being you. I’m one of the vicarious viewers lol. I can’t do too spicy anymore lol. When I was young I had a cast iron stomach now I think it’s made of marshmallow lol.

[@spiceguy94]

Love what you do for the community!

[@bélalugrisi]

I first time I ate a really hot pepper was when I was working at a horse show, and my friend who worked there also worked for a pharmaceutical company that was looking into capsaicin as a topical pain killer. She brought a bag of peppers, fresh picked, and the crew were trying to prove how tough the were. There were lots of tears. As a cook, and fan of Mexican, Thai and Korean food, I locked eyes with a Chocolate Habanero, a particularly hot strain of them, and I was in love. I had Betty send me seeds and have been growing them since 2006. They are beautiful. Have a stable of peppers to grow this season, including the very exciting Bleeding Sawtooth! Thanks for all you do Johnny & big respect!

[@upinflames_01]

Great advice Johnny! Thank you for making this video for new Chiliheads. Have a good night

[@BizzlesLife]

My tolerance is garbage. But iv definitely noticed I don't have heart burn anymore. Before hotsauce I keep heart burn and my stomach use to feel bad. But it's alot better now I eat hot stuff

[@BEAfootball67]

This is a great video Johnny! A lot of good information for new chilli heads and people who are already in the realm. You're the man!

[@maxpower78-15]

Great video Johnny! For those who partake in the heat, there are no quotas or requirements. Just enjoy to whatever level you are comfortable with. To get the heated endorphin dump, one must endure, but nobody NEEDS to go that far unless they want to.

[@SuperRandomizer2000]

You absolutely inspired me to embrace my love for peppers johnny, thank you for dropping facts and dispelling misinformation about peppers

[@sameftek9799]

Regrettably, the Harris-Teeter and Publix near me offer only habanero and jalapeño, serrano peppers. Thank you for the tips.

[@KSwapTheWorld69]

Let's Go! I'm A Chili Head! I've eaten some Super Hot Sauce but never have I bit into one persay, today I ate a whole Jalapeno😁 I know its not much but I'm starting to get up to all the super hot peppers I hope I can eat at least one of my 7 Pot Primo Peppers... I hope I can get up to my Chocolate Primotalli's and even my Dragons Breath 😬 💯💪🏽💯

[@duecebiggalowe]

Its a great day to be a chili head!!!! Awesome video!!!

[@dizzydragon]

If theres a new pepperhead that wants to grow peppers i recommend starting out with a capsicum annuum or frutescens (jalapeño, serrano, numex stuff) they are very fast growers and reward a Lot. then grow a baccatum and a chinense variety, maybe try something with a bubblegum calyx and finally at the end try growing the rare wild ones like rhomboideum, praetermissum etc That way You get used to seed germination times and general complexity while You see what You like, Also don't be discouraged if your superhots don't want to sprout they are finicky, get a good Quality seed supplier, sometimes they get sold too old.

[@harrycallahan5345]

I feel it, the most Superhots will not come, i must trying it next year.

[@saltyaddicts5791]

Are Serranos hot fam?

[@dizzydragon]

@@saltyaddicts5791 depends how You grow them but theres tests where they come up at 65k thats more than cayennes and not that different to some habanero varieties, i like them cause when they turn red they are pulpy like a tomato

[@saltyaddicts5791]

​@@dizzydragonfam I mean at the store I bought one. I don't know how hot it is? I can handle jalapenos but I'm not sure about this one.

[@dizzydragon]

@@saltyaddicts5791 it's probably gonna be a little warmer but if You try some slices first is probably be fine

[@the8thark]

My questions for everyone here (and JS too) are: 1. What is the equivalent fresh pod vs powder of the same pepper. How much powder equals one pod? 2. How specifically does cooking increase or decrease the heat level? I ask number 2 because every time I add a pepper or two into a dish I am cooking and it always makes the dish hotter to me when compared to eating the exact same peppers raw pod. Can someone explain this please?

[@medow_gaming9080]

I’m a new chilly head but it’s funny I saw this as I’m making myself some food before a good challenge, planning on trying to eat 6 habs today it would be a new PR

[@Suburban_Mystic]

Great video, Johnny!!! Alot of good advice!!

[@MarkMcGhoo]

I got pods from amazon trinidad scorpion & carolina reaper. I like spice but wow overwhelming lol some tolerance trainingg i should be good 😂 💪 your videos are wicked hats off man of steel 👏

[@travisstanley4469]

Thank God pod season is soooo close...I bought a smoker so I can smoke fresh pods to made hot sauce with 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤

[@SevenGC89]

I love Jalapenos, my big mistake was thinking the next step was Habanero lol, so I always make chili with Jalapenos and when I thought I was ready I bought some fresh Habanero's and ate one raw and instantly regretted it lol, so obv I have more work to do.

[@jemakrol]

They're selling reaper pods next to other ordinary greens in my local super market nowadays. Good times! Agreed on the passion thing, 100%.

[@Feeldaburn]

My first red primotali woke me up and my first chocolate primotali wrecked but the next day I ate a jigsaw that one was rough

[@DavisVonChavis]

Great video! Just ate half of an orange habanero i froze from last season. Was lookin at the other half when you started talkin about "you can always eat more" Think ill do the other half later 🔥

[@skeletonmakesgood]

Incredibly uplifting post! Thank you so much Johnny! This channel has been so helpful in my guide to further explore taste. I am chasing the heat, and you have been my guide! Salute!

[@MistressOnyaCox]

❤😅 IM ALL IN let's do the pain.

[@anthonygm85]

I think a good pepper road would be jalapeño,sarrreo,cyanne, Thai bride eye,habbenro all easy to find

[@ihnworks]

I started with salsa and then moved to raw in your order. Only one to give me a problem were serranos. I think they vary in heat more than the others.

[@Travis_Rosenthal]

Been watching for a few months. I got really into eating hot food. Been working on building a tolerance ever since. I have thoroughly enjoyed eating peppers!

[@anthonygm85]

I'm doing my part bringing new and different pods or chilli pepper into work for everyone to try I can list my favorite peppers Jalapeños,sarrreo,habbenro Scotch bonnet,devilenchino(along with the other Italian chillis that can't remember),Thai bride eyes and from Brazil maguleta I think is how it's spelled all tast3 great have some heat range or unknown levels at times,my favorite hot is actually the el yucateco carribean and extra hot

[@Cfinnan]

I started last year and I wish I found your beginner videos because I went straight to a scotch bonnet for my first pepper and let's just say the bus ride was Interesting haha, I then rained myself in and went back to a thai chilli then carried on my journey and now I am still on the journey and still loving it.

[@BustinRootz]

I just started watching you and grow my own hot pods. But I do agree with you on the tolerance aspect of eat hot peppers. And I have watched your videos on it. Every informative

[@hjalmarwidmark5906]

Couldnt even tolerate red chili in food before I found this channel. When I could handle a fresh habanero everything started tasting better. Love the sweet fruitiness of that chili & I almost always want it when I cook. I dont eat a whole reaper but love cooking with it along with jalapeno, red chili & habanero. Thank you! Btw, I tried a chocolate butthla and I experienced it hotter than a Reaper, the burn was sneaking up on me and stayed way longer. The Reaper exploded with burn but dissapeared way sooner. Cant find Butthla anywhere. Im guessing it would be great to cook with.

[@christiaanbonthuys882]

JS is the GOAT! thanks for the vid brother.

[@Justin-75Au]

Hay Jonny love how you open your arms to everyone, even capsicum lovers. I manly grow and eat around 30,000 scoville but my rocoto p360 just ripened there 100,000 and the best crunch in a salad eat every night in my salad. Keep that bus moving

[@John-un9wb]

I remember a few years ago i had a jalapeno that had the same heat as a hab .. its no joke totally shocked me

[@mercster]

Yeah, I ordered a pack of dried ghost peppers... ate a half one, no problem (prolly cuz it was the upper half)... next day did a whole one. Mouth pain was bad but passed rather quickly. 12 hours of agony, it was coming out of both ends, could not get my body to stop dry heaving. Slept on the bathroom floor. Only thing that kept me from going to the hospital was a) pride and b) I knew they couldn't do anything for me. Never again.

[@mercster]

I still eat lots of hot sauce, I can throw back habaneros... I just personally won't eat a ghost or higher again, probably. I guess if I prepared and/or planned to purge I could do it, but I'm in no rush.

[@mercster]

Heh, Blancpain Swatch.

[@markpalavosvrahotes5575]

I think I found a fairly available pepper you have yet to review. The manzano pepper(apple pepper) might be a fun one to review for people new to chasing the heat. Love your videos. Been on the bus for a little over two years now.

[@ItsTheCostanza]

Mainstream seems to make the hottest peppers weaker when they’re included in products. Also when I go to the grocery store some of the peppers don’t look fresh 🙂‍↕️

[@Justmebeingme37]

Nothing from a grocery store is fresh....it's a store not a farm lol

[@ReganMcKee]

Thanks for getting me interested in the world of spice! I always refer people to you. I'm about six months into my tolerance journey and am happy to announce that I can nibble down ghost peppers now. Not the whole pod at once but im still super happy to feel this progress. I heard you say that none of the reaper powder you've tested goes above a million shu's, and that ghosts can sometimes be hotter? That makes me even more pleased with my progress lol. I was recently unable to handle hot cheetos... pshh...NOW, I'm slowly working on my 5th tube of terror, have a bottle of Hellfire's double doomed rebooted (very dangerous sauce), and wear a Capsaicinist t-shirt when shooting at my local pool hall lmao. You completely won me over with your previous tolerance building YT video, so there are probably many other good fer' nothin' millenials like me watching ya 🤘 Today I got Dr. Lall, a neurosurgeon at my work, to try a t.o.t. peanut lol. And many other coworkers too. I'm winning them over now lmao. Sorry to write a whole short story but just wanted to say thanks for the content and that i admire your passion of peppers and spice. I call my quest for heat tolerance "discomfort training". Lol. Cheers from Houston

[@zachdowell1722]

I just ate 4 habaneros with the last one being filled with 2 million scoville hot sauce to test my tolerance. It was hot!! But the stinging is definitely different from any pepper I’ve had.

[@necrogenesis1981]

Habaneros and fatallis are the hottest I go on a regular basis, but when I wanna go on a ride I take out the daggers, I only use a little bit but it’s enough with a good sauce, Hellfire is my favorite so far for that, crazy heat but still so much flavor that even a little bit is enough, I still need to explore more of their flavors but I have a few favorites. Exploring different hot sauces is fun because it gives me ideas for recipes.

[@gaby12]

You say the Carolina reaper has no more than 800k SHU? Then the Trinidad scorpion, which is the second hottest pepper, how much SHU does it have? And, Carolina reaper, which is the most publicized, has no one done a laboratory test that shows that it has 770k SHU?

[@lghbtsl]

Would,say, a chocolate beauty bell pepper with no heat have similarities in taste to other chocolate peppers with heat?

[@ChaseTheHeat]

[@1111BlackJackGenius]

Yeah I like the flavor of the reaper, so far I have only had dried red flakes and I would love trying a fresh one, I've never had a 2 hour burn like people talk about my longest burn is maybe half an hour

[@ChaseTheHeat]

In my experience there isn't anything that will burn your for that long. Even when I drank bottles of 9 Million SHU extract, 90 mins later there is zero burn. (in my mouth anyway). Most peppers burn me for 10 or 15 mins.

[@sandiewandie]

Great video. Are there any spicy sweets that you can recommend?

[@saltyaddicts5791]

Ty fam 🙂 🌶️✨ This is what I needed. I have been building my tolerance with jalapenos whole peppers. I had one last night they bit back. But most I've had other then my first haven't burned. But they use to. I think my tolerance is up ☺️ And I got Serrano pepper yesterday. I'm not sure if it's hot or not. I understand You are busy fam and ty for everything I'll be doing small amounts when I get to the habanero 🌶️✨

[@MrSaltyV-]

Growing the "hottest" is my passion...not very tolerant but LOVE to grow them!

[@stutheredynwa2019]

Are chillis really good for helping to prevent cancer Johnny ?

[@captainsalmonslayer]

Im curious what is everyones favourite superhot if flavor was the main consideration?

[@stressed4484]

I've gone from watching a few videos of yours with zero intention of eating peppers, to putting jalapenos (sp) on my shopping list.

[@ChaseTheHeat]

Uh oh. Happy to hear it my friend

I was diagnosed with IBS when I was in my early 20's. I've never had a problem since. Capsaicin lowers stomach acid

[@gobigrey9352]

My peppers aren't ripe yet so I was literally going around town today trying to find a grocery store that sells anything hotter than a serrano. No luck so I'm chewing dried peppers from last year just to get some good burn. Gotta have it. I crave it like a drug.

[@Gabe45044]

Great video

[@Mennenth]

After years of simply enjoying spicy foods, mostly via sauces, I finally decided to build my tolerance a couple of weeks back by going for pods. I'm a mad man. I decided to skip jalapeno and go straight to habanero. One a day. The entire thing, no cutting it in half. The first few days were misery. Would be reaching for ice water very quickly after the pepper went down the hatch. I know what 2 million shu feels like due to being blasted in the face with oc spray (military training), so the heat wasnt the problem. That sting is insane. Like someone going wild on my tongue with a hole puncher. I persevered though, and made it through 4 days in a row. However, I took a break the 5th day. The middle of the night cap cramps were almost worse than the sting. I suffer from sleep apnea, so waking up in pain was just pure misery. Whats interesting is what happened next. I think taking a day to recover boosted my tolerance. The next day, I went for a habanero. Yeah it burned, yeah it stung... But it was absolutely tolerable. I set a timer for 10 minutes, and not once through that 10 minutes did I feel the need to reach for ice water. Previously I was reaching for ice water within a minute. Now I can ride it out without a problem. ... I still have to be mindful of cap cramps though. Habaneros are the hottest my local grocery store has. I'll be searching up local farmers markets or growers soon. I want to stay on habaneros at least for a little bit longer.

[@jglowin1]

I love spicy stuff! I feel like I can tolerate sauces way more than the raw peppers, I have had sauces and super spicy foods way hotter than habaneros, but ate a raw habanero and it churned my stomach a bit 😂
