Yes I have had one side effect. I ran out of Gorilla Juice once and was depressed for a week.
Lol running out would be bad.
4 wks 1 day in after over 30 yrs PAD+, nothing bad per se, but haven't noticed the improvements I might have hoped, no tar phlegm came out [sorry] and nose is stuffy, no great improvement in smell yet.
Not exactly saving money haha but loving the hobby, and enjoying a bit of stick it to the man.

Hi
There's a whole pile of "it depends" there and some times it needs sorting out. Are you talking about side effects just from vaping? Or side effects that come with quitting smoking? Or both? => http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/health-safety-e-smoking/3305-list-symptoms-when-quitting-tobacco-changing-ecigarette.html

hmmm lets see
my back broke out rather severly but I was on some meds that required me to stay out of the sun and I was in the sun alot so I cant say if it was detox from the ciggies or the meds
my sense of smell became intence and everything stunk...
started coughing up all sorts of yuck
Im spending alot less vaping than smoking
I learned no one really knows the real difference between micro and nano coils, there are no tru parameters.....
and also learned steeping is the wrong word... its aging

The only bad side effect any of my wife's friends reported was an upset stomach when vaping a lot of a 3.4 nicotine level juice.
Lets see, my fight with shiny acquisition syndrome and the stress caused in figuring out the difference between VV and VW
No, seriously, none for me in almost 2 years.
Vape on.
just wait.. the worst side effect you could imagine (return of smell) will hit you sooner or later.. 
then come back and tell us how hard it is and how much it costs trying to get that horrible
stale tobacco smell out of the house and car..

Only frustrating thing about being cig free for 4 days now is 4 out of 4 of my evods leak. I tried the remedies to fix the leak/gurgle but nothing is working. The extra rubber o ring on the atty actually got stuck inside the evod on the part that the atty slides into lmao. Keeping the evods full and not letting them go under half seems the best way. Still better then smoking "analogs".... <--see Im catching on with the lingo already !

Great side effects:
Smokers cough - gone, shortness of breath - gone, skin tone - better, money - no longer going up in smoke
Bad side effects:
Ms. Anja found out that collecting pretty looking vaping gear is just as much fun as collecting pretty looking costume jewelry.
Still, that is a lot better than just having the money go up in smoke

i guess the only bad effect i have had (and have vaped on and off for years) is always a stuffy nose. can't figure that one out. but sense of smell is i suppose good/bad since when it first came back i realized how bad my house smelled with 2 dogs and smoking cigs inside! I live in the desert so every day i got off work all the windows in the house got opened and i went through about a case of fabreze!!!
It has finally gone away and can actually enjoy the sensi's my wife uses throughout the house. quite pleasant.

Had a horrible problem with dizziness and nausea. Doctor recommended I use 0mg-- thought it was a sensitivity to nicotine? So I followed his advise. Just tried nicotine again, and problem happened again. I just can't vape anything with nicotine unless my emotions demand it.

After vaping for around 6 months I noticed my breathing was getting very labored and my chest always felt tight. I am not what you call a chain vaper so I assumed it was the PG that could be causing irritation. Switched to 100% VG and I don't have the problem anymore. That's really the only problem I had.
the only side effect i ever had was some dehydration....quickly cured by learning to drink more water.
i also have the urge to throw kidnapped drifters into a pit in my basement and make them fight for my amusement, but i don't know if that's related to vaping.

Word of warning then..stay away from this thread!

My gawd those tips are works of art!
I cringe toward the middle of the month... when the credit card statements start to hit my mailbox. Gawd, I love vape mail.
Well, problem is, there are "side effects" to quitting smoking. How do you sort out which is which? And we know smoking causes health problems. How can you know the "side effect" isn't something caused by the smoking that was going to happen anyway and might even had been worse if you had continued to smoke?
I started vaping a year ago March and my last cig was April. The first several weeks to few months could sometimes get... weird? Lot of congestion and crud coming up sometimes. But I also have allergies and we had a really fierce pollen season. So... dunno? Had a couple of rounds of insomnia that may or may not have been vaping too high a nic level too much in the evening. Cutting my "evening vape" nic level seemed to work. On the other hand, I've been prone to insomnia long as I can remember. Most in my family are. So... dunno?
Some were positive if disconcerting. Getting actual oxygen in my lungs made me restless at times. Couldn't sit still, got bursts of energy and lots of things done. Then was reminded I'm middle aged now, not a kid. My back made that point quite stridently a couple of times.
Started sleeping like a rock. As in lay down then somebody threw a switch and it was morning. Fully rested, felt fine, great even, just no perception any time had passed at all. Then somewhere along the line, weird, weird dreams started. Nightmarish and surreal but I'd forget them almost immediately and only have a lingering, "what was THAT?" feeling left over. Asked around and others here had run into the same kind of weird so I shrugged it off. And it's long gone now.
But tobacco smoke has thousands of chemicals on top of the nicotine so are they "side effects" or some kind of "withdrawal"? How do you sort it short of long term studies and lotsa grant money?
Still, I tried quitting many times. Always failed around six months or less (though my best was maybe nine months?). In all, this was about a thousand times easier. The gum the patch, "cold turkey"... nightmares, just horrible. Zyban? Started causing near hallucinations and I shut that down fast (one night, some part of my brain was absolutely convinced people were breaking into the house... not that you could actually see nor hear then and two big dogs never noticed... no, that was A Very Bad Side Effect Thingie).
There were some rough patches switching over to vaping. "Vaper's Tongue" is no fun at all. Happened once early on for about two weeks then never again.
Almost a year later now, I'm pretty settled. Though getting more active, starting to think it's about time to get back to a gym, sleeping decently (though the family predisposition lurks about at times... but not too badly, manageable if annoying). Absolutely better than a year ago when taking the trash down to the corner all of a block away had me wheezing. Now I get to complain about my knee acting up because I tackled mom's garage and mowed her front lawn in the same day. Oh then took her food shopping. I'm paying for that this morning but compared to a year ago? I'm way, way, way better off.
Then, this month, I realized I had no idea when was the last time I thought about having a cigarette. I don't think about it anymore. Don't know when that happened. Now, I can walk through a cloud of smoke from people outside a store or something and I find I still actually like the smell of tobacco (one reason I got started) but still don't want one. I'm not a smoker anymore. I'm a vaper now. I never got to the point of smoking being something other people do in any of my many quit attempts. Never reached the point where it was something in my past but not anymore. I'm a little stunned at the shift in my "identity".
I seem to be one who has a pretty powerful nicotine addiction. I may not escape the nic. But the smoking is over. Finally. Wish this had been around when I was younger. I started trying to quit before I hit 30. I'd be even better had I been able to switch 20 years ago. Nicotine, itself, is addictive but not catastrophically unhealthy as so many of the other chemicals in cigs (over 50 of which are known carcinogens, nicotine isn't on that list).
It was worth every "side effect" and more. If somebody told me they were going to double or triple the rough spots, I'd do it anyway. Not even blink. My quit attempts were so awful, a little before I found vaping, my doctor said something about my smoking and I actually had something of a panic attack. Like the air got sucked out of the room. The thought of going through that again actually scared me. My worst moments in switching to vaping were still a cake walk by comparison.
Anyway. I think some are looking at this backward. Google up "side effects of quitting smoking". There are tons of lists out there. And how do you sort out what might be caused by vaping and what is caused by quitting smoking? And isn't it actually far more likely the "side effects" are from the smoking? We know it causes all kinds of harm. And though your body sets about repairing itself, you did a lot of damage by smoking and how long will the after effects last? Well, some? Years. It takes many years for the health risk to fall back to average or near average.
In my--increasingly strong--opinion, folks should suspect the smoking first. Vaping maybe second. I say maybe because, well, if I catch a flu, that's neither smoking nor vaping, that's a virus. And smoking makes it worse so maybe it's less miserable (not to mention threatening health wise, people in the modern era seem to forget flu was a killer until fairly recently in our history).
But myself, well, a year ago, I would be short of breath taking the trash to the corner. Today, I'm achy and tired from reorganizing half a garage, mowing a lawn, and taking Miz "I love to browse" to the grocery.
Side effect? About ten times the energy and no shortness of breath.
just wait.. the worst side effect you could imagine (return of smell) will hit you sooner or later..
then come back and tell us how hard it is and how much it costs trying to get that horrible
stale tobacco smell out of the house and car..
Oooo, even better! First dead skunk on the road after your sense of smell is back.
That was... interesting...
