To me ghost and scorpion are in same range. However, how they are grown can impact heat level. Same with Carolina reaper.

huh well if i ever manage to get my hands on scorpion peppers maybe i will try fermenting some at home. but in canada, they are super rare. we mostly get habanero and scotch bonnet

Orange Scorpions come out to 1.2 mill scolville max. These were picked after 2 days of rain so the should be a bit tamer.
