I'm not sure the number of cigarettes/day you want to avoid determines the nicotine strength you choose. Even the lightest smoker might still want the throat hit/kick of 3.6% (36mg/ml) nicotine, and many heavy smokers/vapers might prefer very little or no nicotine at all. I'd suggest trying a few different strengths and/or starting with high strength and mixing it down to the strength you like.

PG generally delivers more flavor and throat hit, while VG makes a thicker, almost creamy, vapor. Obviously, a good 50/50 mix will give you both, but as always, everyone's tastes are different. The good news is that you can customize it however you like--the bad news is it sometimes takes some experimenting to find out. Just make sure to enjoy the ride. ;)

The nicotine determines the TH. PG lets through more flavor, more nicotine TH and more nicotine irritation. VG is thick and dulls everything PG lets through and adds thicker vapor. maybe you like having less TH in your fruit flavors. ANy PG/Vg will work fine in plain atomizers. Slim ecig stuffing cartomizers like thin juices (I use PG w/ 20% or less VG), reservoir cartos and tanks like thin juices (PG w/ 30% or less VG though some thinner 50/50's may work)

8mg is a bit low unless you plan on vaping a lot more than you smoked. The nicotine is per ml. People who smoke full strength cigs often start on 24mg nic. I smoked lights (1.5-2 PAD) and started on 18mg and I vaped about as much as I used to smoke. Some ultralight smokers are more comfortable on 10-12mg.
