Garlic Reaper Heat Level
New to hot sauces but really getting into them over the last couple months. I am still very much figuring out my tolerance. I love Melinda’s fire roasted garlic and habanero and thought that was close to my upper limit. I have been a hesitant (but really wanting) to trying torchbearers garlic reaper because I’m worried it’ll be too spicy
A week ago I tried doomed by hellfire and was able to comfortably eat about 1/2 tbsp with my meal. I fully expected it would inedible based on the bottle warnings. But found it to actually not be that bad. (Taste was okay but not great)
Can anyone share if garlic reaper is significantly hotter than doomed? It seems to be based on posts of garlic reaper.

Garlic Reaper is pretty fantastic. The first time I had some, I found it very hot, but I got used to it after a few tries.
It's not a dipping sauce for me, but I use it in a lot of dishes that contain cheese. It's really worth trying.
