I'd like to take a 6% vinegar solution and get a 12%, but I'm not sure if simple reduction would yeild such a result. I would assume at some point the acid would begin to evaporate also, if direct heat is used....solar evaporation maybe??

Evaporation does not necessarily lead to greater concentration. What you want to do is drive off water or what ever the 94% is (assuming you have mixed the acetic acid with something). Applying heat is one way (again assuming what ever you have mixed it with has a lower boiling point.)
In the late 1800s chemists learned to make acetic acid. Manufacturers added water to reduce its strength to 5%, colored it and sold it as vinegar. You can make a "stronger" vinegar by letting it age in a cool place (50-60 degrees) and letting solids (esters) form and then syphening off the more concentrated product. This could take up to 6 months.

HCl. by way of fact the HCl thoroughly dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions. the reason being that it relatively is an ionic inorganic substance. jointly as acetic acid does not dissociates upto a point. Then it keeps an equilibrium between its dissociated state and undissociated state. Its dissociation is likewise no longer very rapid as HCl.

the evaporation takes place at all temperatures
