Oh, no! Not another almond recipe? Yes.
A question to ponder: Why to people In Butte County, California love their almond orchards? Hint: it has just a little to do with money.
To the recipe.
Cinnamon Roasted Almonds
7% TFA Toasted Almond
3% FA Cinnamon Ceylon
1% FA Zen Garden
1% FA Meringue
1% FA Marzipan
0.5% FA Marshmallow
Again this is a food recipe adapted to vaping. You can find it here.

Notes:
The toasted almond I tried at lesser percentages and it did not work. That could just be me.
Cinnamon Ceylon is a lot nicer on the palate than other "red hot" types. Don't be afraid of it. As far as being a tank cracker? I don't know and haven't tried it in a plastic tank.
Zen Garden is important here as it adds a spicy and saltyish taste to the Cinnamon. This might be my imagination, but I upped the amount and it got saltier.
The meringue, marzipan, and marshmallow glue everything together and add a touch of sweetness that mimics those flavored almonds in a can.
Shake and vape. It's good. Earlier batches don't seem to change much with time.
About 20 years ago the rice farmers around here started replacing their rice fields with almond orchards. A large investment but a higher cash yield. It must have paid off, because most of the rice is gone. So why should us locals care? It's not the jobs. It's not lack of mosquitoes. It's not even the wonderful smell of almond blossoms in the late winter (they are blooming now).
It's the tule fog all winter. It's gone! The locals here are convinced that the fog that plagued us, sometimes for a month at a time, was caused by standing water in the rice fields. Whether this is true or not, I don't know, but I believe it.
