Here's a link to the abstract in PubMed from Oct. 2012. Comparison of the effects of e-cigarette vapor... [Inhal Toxicol. 2012] - PubMed - NCBI (Go ahead, read it - it's short.)
The byproducts measured were VOCs, carbonyls, PAHs, nicotine, TSNAs, and glycols.
CONCLUSION
For all byproducts measured, electronic cigarettes produce very small exposures relative to tobacco cigarettes. The study indicates no apparent risk to human health from e-cigarette emissions based on the compounds analyzed.

The NIH is the National Institute of Health, part of the U.S. Department of Health. The abstract actually comes from NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information), a division of NIH.
I thought I'd done my research but missed this one until yesterday. (Please tell me I'm not the only one who didn't know about this.)
