All this talk of boiling and evaporation makes me think about alcohol
distillation.  Pretty much the same thing I would imagine.  With carefully
controlled heat and a "still" shouldn't one be able to DIY?  Would take some
careful management I would believe, but not impossible.

Worse case scenario: Capsaicin laced ethanol, not a bad prospect...
Best: Ethanol laced Capsaicin, so now we're cooking.

Cameron, please explain to me how the ethanol is able to carry away the
capsaicin with it as it evaporates.
