Dan T’s white hot inferno, and Satan’s Sauce are also good alternatives. But I come from flavour country.
For the sleepy hot sauce fan, there’s ThinkGeek’s caffeinated hot sauce.
357 Mad Dog. It’s 600,000 Scoville units.
Run, do not walk, to www.mohotta.com . It also has wonderfully hot powdered peppers.
I love the powders sold here:

My favorite is “Ass in the Tub.” If a hot sauce has a name that sounds like a teenage dare and artwork like a biker tattoo, I’d be more inclined to try it. I’d like to market one called “Healthy Colons are for Pussies!” with a skull/top hat graphic on it.
I’ll second Dave’s Insanity Sauce. Kicks your ass, and hurts too much to taste any flavor. Longstanding favorite of mine when I’m feeling a little masochistic.
I use Dave’s Total Insanity sauce. I think it is very flavorful, but you have to use it in such small amounts that the heat far outstrips the flavor.
I’LL second that! Man I’m glad you posted first cause I couldn’t for the life of me remember the name of that stuff. I’ll go through the big size bottle of this stuff in about two to three months. This stuff is great! I still don’t understand why its been labeled an Asian hot sauce though, because its not. (at least that what their website says)
Kroger has started selling this stuff too btw. (just recently)
All heat, no flavor ? [shakes head] Poor kid.
Dave’s Insanity for you. It’s as close as I’ve experienced to “The Man” at Dixies BBQ in Bellevue, WA, a sauce whose slogan should be “Treading the Fine Line Between Cuisine and Assault”.
My Sauce of the Month is Trappey’s Red Devil, but I’m exactly opposite from you on the taste/pain axis.
Definitely Dave’s. There is a light hint of smokiness and hardly any taste of vinegar, but these flavors are totally lost after you cut off your tongue in an effort to get your mouth to stop burning.
All burn with none of those nasty flavours to complicate things.
Well… most hot sauce people I know have burned away their taste buds anyway.
I’m pretty good at creating the right flavor in my food, that’s why I just need a little more heat. I have to cook without too much spice because I live with wimps so I need a sauce I can add to my own food to kick it up a bit.

Try this supplier.
Sriracha sauce, which was mentioned before.
Also known as “rooster sauce”.
This sauce has texture, taste and flexibility. From use as a spread on hot dogs and sausage, to being squeezed right onto chips or chicken. Highly addictive.
In a league of it’s own. Red bottle with green cap.
Here is a link:
Wow, great to see so many folks recommening Cholula!
waves to Pantellerite, Jean Grey, Eggerhaus, and Max Carnage
It took me awhile to come around to hot sauce, but my husband has completely turned me into a Cholula addict. He made the tastiest wings with it for the Superbowl.

Gonna add my praise of Cholula, but also suggest a worthy alternative: Tapatio.
Both are excellent–and currently in my fridge–but I give a slight edge to Tapatio (http://www.tapatiohotsauce.com/sauce.htm) for taste. Plus it comes in 32 oz. containers 
Still, both are mild-to-warm, heatwise. If you wanna turn chilli or pasta into a spicy kick-in-the-ass, a drop of Dave’s Insanity Sauce (as mentioned by others) will do just fine for a pot of either.
Two drops of Dave’s, of course, is courting trouble and more is just plain silly. (Go ahead and guess how I know…)
Jeeze, if you like Vinegar then Frank’s Original Hot Sauce is great. It won’t be as hot as you like but you can pour it over your eggs, pizza etc… It is the flavor in original Buffalo Wings. Probably good in beer if you are a beer and tomato juice drinker (don’t forget the pepper).
Personally I’ve never liked Tobasco because it is hotter than I like (for the amount used) and I just don’t like the taste. Doesn’t go with eggs at all. To me, a sauce should be lavished on an item. If one drop sets the food on fire it is too concentrated for me.
If you live in Boston there is a shop in the commons that sells hundreds of different sauces. I’m sure the LA crowd has many such places.
If you’re looking for burn without flavor, then Pure Cap sounds perfect.
I also like Tapatio–it’s what I buy when I need some Cholula, but I’m feeling poor!
I organized the fridge this morning and inventoried our hot sauces and salsas–right now, we’ve got six: Cholula, Tapatio, Sriracha, Tabasco, Bufalo Chipotle, and some habanero sauce (Yucatero?) These six cover all of my hot sauce needs.
