HJL are you leaving the seeds in your hot peppers when freeze drying them. Most of the heat is in the seeds.
The “heat” in peppers is in the membrane that attaches the seeds and is a volatile oil,the heat or vacuum may cause them to denature. Canned jalapeños seem to work well but the texture suffers.
If you’re losing the heat in your jalapenos, try growing and freeze drying hotter chiles; serranos, and (I don’t remember the name, but they’re slightly larger than a jalapeno, light yellow and waxy appearing, and VERY hot. wash hands after touching).
