I use the Capsicum Heat by FW anywhere between 1-3 drops per 5ml depending on the effect I'm looking for. Nice with robust tobaccos, chocolate & excellent with a cinnamon/menthol mix.
Vaped a couple ml once at 1 drop/ml. That was...intense...lol. Nice throat & chest burn that built over time.:evil: Nothing scary though. Subsided after several minutes. But what a rush!
If you're not into spicy/heat I wouldn't advise you go that high. And that's coming from a guy that loves his pepper! I grow some of my own Trinidad Moruga Scorpion...hottest pepper in the world @ 2,000,000 SHU and indigenous to us here in Trinidad. The heat from those builds slowly too....though it tends not to stop lol.
At any rate, IMHO the Capsicum Heat is worth trying in your DIY. Just start low & increase to your desired pain threshold...errr...taste. :laugh:

The stuff for sprinkling on fruits also has citric acid along with the pepper. It's sour and hot, might try mixing it with some Tart and Sour. I remember a year or so ago quite a few videos popping up of people trying this to get throat hit with zero nic juice. Some of he videos were pretty funny when they went overboard with it. I also remember in the comments somebody mentioned that although it wasn't bad vaping it, the next day they experienced the "burning ring of fire"!

Your pain threshold is more than mine lol... I also vape like a maniac, so the build up over time is what really killed me.. still useful though. Now to see what else nifty I can add to the bag of magic...

Yep, it tends to have a cumulative effect, mostly on your throat.

In the interest of idiocy science I just put 2 drops of Capsicum Heat on my finger & then on my tongue.
Warm tingle on fingertip. No real taste at all. Surprisingly no real intense burning in my mouth. There is heat, comparable maybe to a mild, maybe medium, pepper.
Definitely feeling it in my throat though! Made me cough a couple times. After the throat, nothing else lower down. (I mean tummy-wise :glare:)
They definitely designed this stuff for TH (throat irritation?)...in both vapor & liquid form! lol

Wasn't as strong as I thought it was gonna be. Don't get me wrong...it packs a punch! (DON'T do this if you're not used to/intolerant of heat!)
But I was expecting more. It's listed online as 15,000,000 SHU which is nearly pure capsaicin, but I've been floored before by just a finger taste of peppers many magnitudes less strong than that & this wasn't close. Maybe it's actually diluted?
Big THUMP in the throat though! So I guess it does well what most people use it for. :)

(Heads off to wash hands before forgetting & going to the little boys room with resulting disastrous consequences 8-o ...Hey, the Demon isn't immune to heat EVERYwhere...)
 
That reminds me, at the higher level, I noticed the vapor would burn my eyes and make them water a little.. I mean if it would go straight in them.. nothing I really care about, cause it wasn't even close to the burn you get from cigarette smoke straight in the eye, just thought I'd mention it. I'm sure most of us can remember the times when you'd need both your hands to do something and hold the cigarette in your lips.. right about at the most inconvenient moment with something heavy in the hands that smoke would shoot straight for one of your eyeballs....

I'm gonna go for the FW version then. Diablo Loco is way too much for me. Who makes a great tasting mango?
