I've only gotten a slight stomach ache, and maybe a mild, and I use mild in its weakest form, headache. The side effects are not as severe as heartburn, at least in my case.

PG juices gave me heartburn and I quickly started DIY using VG exclusively, except for the flavorings. Major improvement for me. YMMV
Last week I got heartburn from vaping for a couple of days. I also noticed that I was going longer between charges for my batteries without having any cigarette cravings. I took it as a sign that my body was needing less nicotine. I moved from 18 mg. to 12 mg. juices and the heartburn went away immediately with no shortening of the time needed to charge my batteries. I was delighted as I figured it would take a few months before I could move down that much on nicotine.
I was getting heartburn when I got too much nic. I lowered it and was OK.
I also am having trouble getting to sleep so I am vaping 18mg juice until noon, then 12 mg juice until 6 PM, and 6 mg until bed. I may be able to lower each a notch, but I want to be careful and not get too little nic and start craving. I also keep 24mg juice loaded and ready in case a strong craving or stress shows up.
Vaping is still the least painful way to quit that I have tried. I think it works well for me because I can tailor the dose to match my changing needs. I thought that I would need lots of nic for a long time (some people do) but I am surprised that I have been making progress. Progress is Good.

I have experience that. I use to think I had ingested some juice or something but now I think it happens when I vape too much at too high a nic level. So i'm dialing down my nic and will see how that does. Seemed to subside when I cut back on vaping a bit. Still have it some days but not as often. It also may be unrelated for me. I use to have a lot of problems with acid reflux. So I may just be prone to it. At night I have been doing low and no nic juice. Since I diy I will be walking down the nic level hopefully to zero or like 10mg. or less. I was doing between 24-48 mg nic at first. But I was a heavy smoker. LOL
There are numerous threads on here about heartburn as people switch from smoking to vaping. It's not an uncommon malady, but seems as the body adjusts to the healthier lifestyle, the heartburn clears up.
A quick search on the site will pull up quite a few threads for sure.

I'd been experiencing silent reflux (GERD) - no heartburn, just couldn't breathe properly (yay for acid burning my lungs!) for almost a year before I went to a new doc that figured out that it was GERD.
It's better now with my taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), but it was rather horrible for a while.
I only fully quite analogs about 3 months ago - was vaping a bit daily for the past year or so though; the silent reflux was happening long before full-on vaping for me.
I'd never considered that it could be a result of vaping. That would be very sad.

I've had it happen from vaping too much @ too high mgs, but also from a specific flavoring (unfortunately, I can't remember which flavoring it was, but it was something citrus, or maybe it was hypnotica?).
PG/VG doesn't seem to matter for me, but PG certainly causes issues for some (seems often to be some sort of irritation esp throat), and less-often VG for others (usually related difficulty breathing - VG is thicker and heavier in the lungs, but not as irritating).
As Black Strat mentioned, some other ingredients can be problematic too. Cinnamon is one I usually caution new vapers to be wary of.
PS - you may want to relocate...as your sense of smell returns, it's gonna get tough for you in 'fartville'
