Following discussion in this thread it was suggested we create a list of vendor rebranded concentrates (the exact same flavours under a different name but sold cheaper). Chefs would only confirm LorAnn, FA and Cupcake World(?) but got the FE info from the thread above.
I'll update the list if people can comment any they know. I don't know anything about any US/CA vendors etc and have only contacted Chefs.

What are the Liquid Barn flavors?
LB makes their own flavors, or has them made for them. They're not rebranded
Oh good to know, I figured they were just relabled. The Pacific cooler is good by itself.
E-cig Express - TFA/Signature, Real Flavors VG/NorthWest VG, Medicine Flower/Lotus
Vaping Zone - Bakers Flavors/SC-Gourmet
DIY Vapor Supply - Jungle Flavors/Rain Forest Flavors
High Desert Vapes - Capella/Ella's Gourmet Flavor Drops
I'll think of some more I just need another cup of coffee first.
Chef's Flavours also sell Reka-n as Wrecka, and I've had their Xpress Flavour confirmed as rebranded Flavor Express via email so vouching for that. Vapourdepot.com sell a few LorAnn flavours as Lorain, and thee-cigshop.co.uk sell them as LorrAine's.
Why would you even rename them to begin with? I'm confused and only half way through my coffee lol.
They buy in bulk and rebottle, selling them at a discounted rate. Normally when a vendor has minimum resell prices (i think)
ISTR Chefs Choice was actually multiple different sources... Also the table is a bit broken - RF isn't a vendor, they're a manufacturer that ECX rebrands.
Also, diyejuice sells FE stuff as "Super Concentrated", apparently.
Or ECX rebrands Super Concentrated as FE, or something, or more specifically, whatever the Chinese word for "Super Concentrated" or "Flavor Express" is. It gets a bit murky there. DIYejuice, Bull City, and Vaper's Tek all sell "SC" flavors and ECX sells "FE" flavors and some of these are the same but maybe some of them aren't? It's a mess to try and sort out.
It is a real mess trying to sort this out but I can tell you FE Mango (from e-cig-express) and SC Mango (from DIYejuice in Canada) are without a doubt the same flavor.
I'm sure there are perfectly good reasons for a rebrand - but suppliers sure are shooting themselves in the foot. I order from Chefs when I need FA or LA flavourings otherwise I prefer to use Darkstar. I've made at least a dozen orders with Chefs because I needed FA and didn't want to pay P+P twice. Now if only they added a LA rebrand!
As the list gets longer the table might need editing to group by brand rather than a random order, or any other feedback/ideas? I'll tidy it up when I'm not on mobile.
It's a shame you can't sort a-z etc in a post so people could sort by vendor or brand depending what they're looking for.
Yeah that was the thread I made.
I actually googled to find the cheapest Lorann flavour concentrates and even found one in Germany (I'm from the UK) for £5, for 3.7ml - as apparently Lorann flavours are sold only in 3.7ml bottles by Lorann themselves. As well as costing £5, it had £10 shipping on it. So basically £15 for 3.7ml LOL.
I saw that Loranns flavour as 'Laurens' in my google search & thought it was a fake knock off version.
Anyway if anybody else is interested in this from the UK. The banana smell actually smells like Banana flavoured sherbert dip dab - link for those of you who are American where this may not be sold.
So it's probably good that I ordered it because if I'd have substituted the flavour for another one that actually smelt of banana cream, the eliquid would probably taste completely different.
Anyway, the nana cream is now steeping and I'll break into it in a few days once my current bottle is vaped - will report back if anybody is interested :D
