I like a certain level of spicy. I like jalapenos, wasabi peas are a favorite snack, and I generally go for moderate heat level on my Indian foods. OTOH I once had some idiot trick me into eating a habanero, seeds and all, and I was literally in pain for hours afterword, it was pretty awful.
I enjoy super spicy food. The hotter the better, but I tend to draw the line on sauces and/or food where capsaicin extract is used - not because it's too hot, but because it tastes like crap.
For example - when I go to Buffalo Wild Wings, I'll eat the Blazin' Wings to show off, but I actually prefer the taste of the Mango Habanero more. Wingstop is the only wing joint I've found where their hottest sauce (Atomic) actually has a decent flavor.
I generally like spicy foods. Growing up we put hot sauce, cayenne, pepper vinegar, or crushed pepper flakes on basically everything (or that is how the family prepared it).
My tolerance for spice is decent, but I have had a few next-day regrets in my life. And it is never obvious when that will happen.
I don't like heat to burn your tongue off.
Now as an adult I like to try as many flavorful takes on chili peppers as possible - I am always picking up new kinds of chiles. I don't like a lot of the popular spicy things though. I don't think sriracha goes on everything. I don't like flaming hot Cheetos, I think they are weird. Spicy potato chips sound weird to me.
When I am cooking I tend to add spice, and want some in the background with most foods. When I make curries (Indian inspired) I use multiple layers of heat: fresh chiles, dried chiles, Chile oil.....
Last week I ended up having a breakfast with mashed roasted sweet potatoes, nut butter (I have lots of kinds) and chili flakes. It was yummy! I love dried hot peppers and sweet potatoes together.

I frequent Wing Stop quite a bit I have yet to get the courage to try Atomic lol Some people have told me its only a smidge hotter then the original hot others have told me your gut will be bubbling after a few wings so I stay away.

If you can handle Blazin' from BWW, you should be able to handle Atomic. Have them give you a sample of the sauce the next time you order.

Never been to BWW one of the places I wanna try at some point. I honestly enjoy baked wings instead of fried wish more places offered them baked.
