“Perfect heat and taste with no side affects. I usually go in for 3 large dabs on my favorite tortilla chips at a time. But I wish I had a bottle for work to so I don’t have to bring this with like my chille pet!”

“This sauce has a very heavy pepper taste, which is very nice. You get big heat right away, but it levels out to something just a bit more tolerable. Watch out for the comeback when you drink something.”

“it have a great heat level which good to eat and still have the flavor of the pepper (different sauces with pepper X and other ingredient could be the best sauce ever), i tried the sauce to see if pepper X is edible as a sauce or if its too hot. but it was the perfect heat”

“This sauce tastes ok, but is not particularly spicy. Equivalent to habanero level of heat, maybe 300k SHU. Nowhere near 2.6 mil. It is a nice versatile sauce, but the marketing makes no sense.”

Hi Dan, So sorry to hear that! The sauce is definitely not as mouth-burn hot as extract-based sauces like Da Bomb. We only do natural pepper heat, and the extract-based sauces definitely have more of a mouth burn while natural peppers can have varied styles of heat. Pepper X are way more delayed and can hit much later. So sometimes it feels more like a full body hot sauce high, or hits you in the stomach (the Carolina Reaper is infamous for making folks keel over with stomach cramps). This sauce is about 90% Pepper X mash, powder and distillate, and when you taste the mash straight up it is killer! When it's cooked in the sauce, those compounds react with the capsaicin and control the heat level. So the net result is that you can feel the type of heat delivered by Pepper X, but still at a level that people can appreciate and not have a meltdown over. We want you to use a lot! How much did you use? The number one reason for people to think this is not hot is because they treat it like an extract sauce and use too little. You're meant to use about 1 tablespoon per serving, so enough to well coat a wing, plus a dab on top. Definitely not a toothpick type deal. Oh! Also, give it a healthy shake before using it. Sometimes things will settle on account that we don't use preservatives. Let me know if I can help you with anything else! Stay Spicy, Sarita

“Very potent Hot Sauce. Start with a small amount to build up your tolerance. I use this on a variety of dishes and recipes. Adds just enough POP to any foods!”
