If you want to experience a pepper rush with minimal topical pain and maximum enjoyment, buy/grow some fresh Carolina reapers and let them soak in a bottle of vodka or tequila for a couple of days. You can actually taste the pepper beyond the heat and still get a nice endorphin rush when you take a shot of it. It's also great for spicy margaritas

So then I need to eat the fried chicken on the side like a sucker???

You can also grow habanada peppers which are habaneros bred to have no spice: https://www.rareseeds.com/habanada-sweet-pepper

Do you know a good source for seeds? I bought some on the internet once and they turned out to be green Serranos lol.

Straight from the PuckerButt Pepper Company! They're the ones who bred the Reaper and offer seeds, mashes, and sauces alike.

Yep, this is where I get mine

I bought various chili types seeds in the past from them without any problems.

Baker Creek Seed Co (rareseeds.com) is my favorite place to order seeds from. Nice family run business with an absolutely massive selection of seeds. Free shipping.

Their free color catalog just came out last week: https://www.rareseeds.com/requestcat/catalog/

Does this make a standard shot of vodka better or worse? I can already barely tolerate plain vodka, but its my favorite alcohol to mix.

Way better. It has actually become my favorite shot.
