I use CCW for mixing. Some say they lack flavour. Well I'm a fan although I do mix around 24-28%.

I've not tried the ones you mentioned though.

I'm currently vaping a mix (all CCW) 12% yoghurt, 8% strawberries and cream, 4% strawberry jam and 4% bilberry.

It is really lovely.

I've tried the Clotted Cream Fudge f1ery, very pleasant it was as well . . . . generally, although not exclusively they do tend to be on the weak side as RangersBillyBoy says - so I mix at 25% - 30% to get a flavour that suits my tastes. Although Cough Candy I go 20%, Cream 2%, Devon Cream 4% - those two make excellent blenders.

Whether it's of interest to you as it's purely my personal findings, this is a list of CCW concentrates from the ones I have tried, that I've enjoyed:

Apple Crumble
Apple Sour
Banana Custard
Blue Raspberry
Bunspice
Butterscotch
Champagne
Cider
Clotted Cream Fudge
Cloudberry
Coffee & Walnut
Cough Candy
Devon Cream
Digestive Biscuit
Egg Nog
English Trifle
Fruits of the Forest
Fruit Salad Chewy
Grapefruit
Honeycomb Ice Cream
Jam Roly Poly
Marshmallow
Millionaires Shortbread
Mince Pie
Peanut Butter
Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream
Rhubarb
Rhubarb Crumble
Rhubarb & Custard
Salted Caramel
Sour Plum
Strawberry

Many of the pages on Chefs' website for their Chefs' Choice equivalent have some mixing guidelines although they tend to be rather broad, eg. 10-20%, but at least that's a start.

Plus I've been trying to build up a list of VHB members' recommendations - you'll find it in the VHB Files. 

Please feel free to dip in and spread the information to anyone who'd find it useful?

Tbh . . . I think the lovely Chefs could do with amending those guidelines ceedee as for numerous flavours from the range, 10-15% just won't give most vapers a good flavour no matter which set up they use.

Which in turn leads to disappointment and the perception that they're not very good as a whole. 

Perhaps you could use your influence.

Of course, though I'm not at all sure that amounts to much.
It's near the top of the agenda I have started (along with other suggestions for improvements to the website, such as an indication of how long until an oos item is expected to return to stock) for when I can get their attention for more than two minutes at a time. 
But these are busy, busy times for a company doing it's damnedest to satisfy increasing demand while maintaining high standards of service.
 
I don't know if the newer CCW concentrates are getting stronger or it's the better-performing atomisers and more powerful mods but many recent recommendations are around 15% - Raspberry Yoghurt, being the latest.
