no i see all the diffrent mg of juice they have, now i dont get it, is the mg of juce like for example 24mg/5ml bottle 24mg/30ml bottle now wouldnt the 5ml be more concentrated therefor be stronger in nic. or is the mg level based on like 24mg per 1ml or something like that

Second part is right. Strength is mg/ml at most vendors. I have seen a couple that use percentage, but that is much less common.

The nicotine content varies by manufacturer/brand. One source of the per-cigarette nicotine content can be found at:
Nicotine, Tar, and CO Content of Domestic Cigarettes
(they admit the data is old)
Another look is from some Ruyan info posted in NZ:
The Ruyan (nicotine) e-cigarette
Just trying to give you some data, no analysis other than that the Ruyan claim per cig appears consistent with the FDA data for the heavier-hitting cigs, at upwards of 1.5 mg absorbed per cig.

High PG % helps throat hit, as does high nic value, while high VG% leads to more vapor, more "lung hit". If you don't have any PG issues (no allergies), an 80% PG/20% VG mix is pretty popular, though in my own DIY for tobacco flavor I'm using 90% PG.

Since the nic from cigs is absorbed differently than from vapor, if you wish to do a direct comparison, you are comparing apples to camaros.

Hi Chalie_Champ!
Lol, apples to camaros, I like that.
So many variables with analogs and e-cigs, it was hard for me to tell how much nic I was getting with analogs.
Sometimes I'd drag so hard off the ultra light Winstons I used to smoke, I'd burn one down by the time my wife would be 1/4 down her Newports.
I'm sure it's the same with e-cigs.

so would 90% pg be like a strong strong analog cig? I liked my analogs as strong as i could get them

90% PG, 24 mg nic is "firm", though the flavoring used contributes a lot -- how e-cig tobaccos taste varies hugely, some are pretty sweet, some are dryer.

For my own use, just starting do-it-yourself, I picked up something called Tobacco Absolute (TA) from Perfumers Apprentice. It's what they call TA diluted, but in this case the diluted is with Pure Grain Alcohol (PGA). It will take away sweetness and contributes a lot to throat hit, using just 2 - 4 drops per 10 ml of liquid.

Some people will vape up to a 36 mg strength liquid, at least to start. I smoked 35 years, the first 25 of them Camel straights, am good with 24 mg, though I've tested some 30 mg.
