I'm going to get at least 1 pepper. Hope to see more.

Thanks for the tip, I gotta cut back on the smoke. Of course the flowers are pointed down so any vibration will cause pollen to drop. I like the idea of using a q-tip better - less chance of giving the plant an unwanted haircut (I have an electric toothbrush, but I'll be damned if I can find the charger). I also read that temps below 60 or above 90 are bad. I plan on drying the peppers when done and using the powder for cooking (mainly pasta type dishes and chili).You can polinate better with a q-tip... Ignore the flowers that look droopy...
Start at one flower and go around the plant with the q-tip until you come back to the first flower...
Vibration will only pollinate the lower flowers as the pollen drops down...
To get the top flowers you will need to do this or use a small fan in conjunction with the vibration...
I use bread sometimes too (along with the milk). The good thing with hot peppers is the more you eat, the less it burnz . I was hoping my other girls would get jealous when they saw how hot she was and step up bud/resin productiondont get those too close or ur gona have some hot buds! LOL hell yeah eat one... but have milk ready
