    I've been looking for a rotovap for a while.  You can pull the pepper aroma out of the pepper (leaving behind the capsaicin).

    Not suggesting anyone spend the money on this equipment, just posting for educational purposes.

    Very cool.  I think you’re going to need to adopt @Eggcelsior‘s profile pic.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    Spot-on.  My first year stationed in Albuquerque followed an especially dry growing season, which resulted in the chiles being especially hot; even the locals were sweating after a dish.  For a German/Norwegian newcomer, it was a Baptism of Fire, but I've been a chile-head ever since.
