Hi Allen,
  I could be wrong but I think there could be 2 explanations for this. Both
have to do with the plant that grew the heatless Hab. First is conditions
under which the Hab grew, daytime temps, watering, soil amendments, etc.
Second is the plant itself as we've discussed that there are heatless
strains being developed & your description that it had Hab flavor would lead
me to believe this is the answer.
  Hope this helps,
     Paul

spot on one and eat it.  Nothing.  It has the habanero flavor, but no heat
whatsoever.  I was crushed.  I figured that that one had to be a bad pepper.
The others couldn't be completely without heat.  Fortunately, I was right
about that.  The rest are hot AND have hab flavor.

hot but absolutely no heat at all...
