LOL, I have never heard of anyone attempting to extract "pure" capsaicin from peppers. clearly it is done commercially, but I would have no idea how to do it in house. I am sure some have tried to extract the "juices" from peppers, but that is not pure capsaicin. I will be interested to see what others have to say on this.

edymnion tried a few years ago. I can't remember if he had success or not and how he went about it. If I was to try it, I would fdefinitely use something more rich in it than habs, like a 7 pot or reaper.

Adam: try googling "edymnion capsaicin" or edymnion capsaicin extract" ... you just might find his old thread.

I forgot about that thread, woohooman! That was a good read, pretty comical too! Here ya go, Adam:

I'd sayou can get around 50mg to 5000mg per kg

With the superhots not watered a few days to allow dryness which increases heat level and capsaicin levels maybe more so bearing in mind there is 1000mg per gram you will have your hands full.
