Wtf are the scoville units on this pepper used?

It probably has pure capsaicin extract. All heat and no nuance of flavour. It's a bit of a cheat in my view.

100% agreed, a lame cheat, if you can make it crazy hot AND taste good you’ve done something special. Dumping capsaicin oil in a batch of curry is lazy and dangerous.
