You were after enjoyable hotness, but if you are unable to get hot chillies, if, you take the stem off and boil them in a mixture half water half white vinegar for approx, 30 minutes or so, the vinegar starts to break down the membrane and seeds of the chilli, releasing the heat throughout the whole mix. Works well with birdseye chillies for a super hot kick.
