I've not tried many of the Rebranded range, but Coconut Raspberry & Coconut Caramel are quite pleasant, mixed at 10% with 1% sweetener clivealive1. Their own ChefsVapour Concentrates are blends of their eliquids, so I'd expect to pay more for them - as all the hard work has been done. Haven't used any of the Chef's Choice . . . . . as yet.

The rebranded range that i've tried are.
Vanilla Custard mixed at 10%, a decent custard for me, rich creamy notes with a sweet vanilla taste, steeped for 3 weeks. Strawberry mixed at 10%, a decent enough natural strawberry taste, steeped for 3 weeks. Blackberry mixed at 10%, quite strong this one, i only tried it 5 days after mixing had quite a perfumed taste to me, haven't gone back to it yet to see if the perfumed aftertaste has diminished after more steeping.
All these were straight one shot mixes no sweeteners or other additives added to the mix, all 70VG 30PG at 6mg.

Tigers blood at 10-12% is fantastic. The wife loves the vanilla fudge as well. Quite honestly, all of them that I've tried have ranged from excellent to decent.
The chefs rage are more expensive but some of them are fantastic, such as jungle juice.

hi, never tried chefs rebranded concentrates are they any good ? what are the best ones ? cant tell what a lot of them are as no description. are they as strong as suggested %'s suggest what is chefs choice ?? also ChefsVapour Concentrates seem dear at £3-95 ????? I really like the Chef's Rebranded Blueberry Cheesecake - mixed at 3.5% it's plenty strong enough. Also have a couple of others mixed at about the same but not as keen on them. I bought some of the Chef's Choice range recently and mixed them up into testers last weekend. Couldn't find anything else written about them so just went ahead and did them all at 15%. Will try them over the bank holiday and see what they're like... I got: Millionaires Shortbread Devon Cream Clotted Cream Fudge Honeycomb Icecream I did the 'drop on yer fingertip' taste test and they don't taste very strong, whereas the rebranded ones do.

oh love cheesecake yummy , yes few places said rebranded are strong. like u say not a lot of info on chefs choice. my issue is what % top mix the rebranded as I always like strong and have to up all supposed percentages. suppose if i double 3 1/2 that would still be very low
