Hello and welcome to the forum @Roque Galaz-Vega. Glad to have you here!
If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping.
Nicotine
A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are subohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.
06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes
eliquid/Juice
PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.
VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick. Often labeled just "Glycerine"
PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Many juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

Welcome to the ECF!
You've come to the right place for lots of help, information, and encouragement...for anything related to vaping. Just ask and people will gladly help you with any questions you have.
As you learn more about "this world" of vaping, and you keep vaping...you'll soon be at the point many of us are now. For myself, the 42 years that I spent smoking 1 - 1 1/2 packs a day seems so long ago now. It's been 2 years and 3 months since I had my last cigarette, and I'm sure I'll never have another one! You'll be there, too, if you keep at it.
