Congratulations and welcome to ECF! There should not be anything for you to be concerned about with your juice. You might notice yourself vaping more than you smoked, but that is normal. You will know if you are getting too much nicotine because your body will tell you. Drink a lot of water as vaping can dehydrate you. Best of luck! 
Welcome to ECF and Retriever said it best. You will be just fine, you have already done your body a great favor by making the switch. Happy Vaping 
Hey Rick---congrats on the move to e-cigs! There shouldn't be anything harmful in the juice, but the thing you need to be aware of are the changes your body's going to go through as you transition away from analogs. You don't want to attribute those changes to "a bad reaction to ecigs"....
Welcome Rick,, fill up a carto and do some reading,,, you'll soon discover what a fabulous decision you made. And congrats on your quit!
I can def attest to the dehydration thing.. Since I started vaping I keep a bottle of water at my side... Congrats on the no smoking!
Welcome!
There is a small number of people who have reported being allergic to PG, but my understanding is that they are in the minority. If you are concerned about it, you may want to read up on the forums about PG allergies.
As far as how much/what nic you vape, my general solution was to start with a variety of strengths (I started with 20ml bottles of 6, 12, 18 and 24), and increase the strength if it feels like the level you're vaping isn't quite doing it for you. It also helps to keep a bottle of stronger nic around for those times when you really feel like you need a smoke (my daily vape is 12mg, but I always have a bottle of 24mg close at hand, and just drip a few drops of that when I feel like I really need it).
You may also want to familiarize yourself with the symptoms of nicotine overdose, I know I accidentally got too much a few times when I was starting out. For me at least, it was very hard to get used to the slow-release style of vaping as opposed to the instant rush from an analog.
