Yellow habanero conquered. What now?

I am quite new to everything spicy, as in the past I was too scared of the bitterness that came with it. I pushed past the bitter, increased my tolerance, and I am at the level where I can bite off bits of store-bought fresh yellow habanero and enjoy both the pain and the taste (it's my favourite hot pepper so far!)

Now I know that store-bought is unreliable, for a more uniform reference I braved the cheese Buldak ramen and went away unscathed (it was so good). Sriracha Blackout is pleasant.

I am now looking for some recommendations that I can try after habaneros stop scratching the itch. I live in Central Europe, I have some yellow, red and chocolate habaneros growing (fingers crossed they actually produce something), but there's still some time until they mature. Which peppers should I look for now? Anything similar to habaneros (I love love love the taste)? And on the slim chance someone lives around Central Europe too, any sauce / snack recommendations?

Just to be clear, I don't want to increase my tolerance for bragging rights, I just adore the euphoria and the dopamine that the spice gives and want to explore new flavours now that I discovered I actually enjoy it.

I caved

I found white fusions at a plant festival, sourced directly from the sellers (no department store tax). Cheaper than all I have seen, I paid less than 4 euro.

I promised myself I won't have a white fusion. I have a white fusion.

Any tips and well wishes? I know they are a magnet for pests so she's quarantined for now with the rest of my recent plant haul, anything other than "normal" calathea care I should know about?
