What is a "Double Shot"?

[Phroge]

I'm about to venture into DIY nicquids, and stumbled before I started. I've seen many flavors sold as or with the option of a "Double Shot", but exactly how much are they considering as a double shot? What percentage of flavor are they basing the "Double"? If a recipe says 10% flavor, would 20% flavor(a true double) be correct? I've seen recipes that say 15% flavor, but doubling to 30% seems like an awful lot. At what percentage of flavor is a mix considered "Doubled"? I know mixing your own recipes is honed on personal taste, but I want to get fairly close on the first try without having to toss-n-retry too much.

Dunno about everyone... but The Vapor Room says that "single shot" is 25% more flavor and "double shot" is 50% more... hope this helps.

I can't comment on individual vendors, but some I've seen is about a 50% increase in flavoring. I'd just ask the vendor themselves if you were looking at specific places. They're probably all different in their flavor increases.

I would say that a "Double Shot" is more flavor. Now is it Twich as much as regular. Probably not.

Example: If a flavor is regular 10%, then 1x is usually 15%, and a double is 20%. At least when I DIY'd, that's how I did it. Since you are making your own, go by how it tastes to you after sitting for 24 hours.
