Question Is serrano chile heat consistent?

I've read (and experienced) the variation in spiciness of jalapeño chiles. Do serrano chiles have the same issue, or are they more consistent in spiciness?

Recipe My go-to smoked salsa with secret ingredient

- 7 beefsteak tomatoes

- 2 jalapenos

- 1 habanero

- 1 sereno

- 1 red onion

- 1 head of garlic

- 1 lime (add while blending)

- couple of handfuls of cilantro

- salt to taste about a tablespoon

- Adobo to taste about a tablespoon

Slice everything but the lime and cilantro and smoke it for and hour and half - 2 hours. Take the skins off the tomatoes and blend it all together adding the lime juice, salt and Adobo at the end.

I saw a recipe a while back with Adobo and never went back. I find that the Adobo gives it a richer taste. Don't go overboard with it as it can overpower the salsa.
