If you count model glue and that B-52 Stratofortress I put together at twelve years of age, I've been vaping since 1981.
7 years. Some phlegm is the glycerin. Can't say I've noticed any negative side-effects worth mentioning. When I smoked I used to have chest infections one or twice a year and coughing that persisted for months after each one. I don't think I've had a chest infection since I quit. In fact, I can't remember the last time I was sick at all.
1 year, 6 months. My vaping side effects include:
* A lot more money in my a/c, even with shinyitis
* Can walk up steep hills, and only get slightly out of breath.
* Get compliments on my perfume - which is just fruity vapour

Just over a decade for me and at 48yo I'm the fittest and healthiest I've ever been... No side effects from vaping at all, I'm a MTL 10.5watt user, currently on 3mg/ml 50/50 juice...
six years into vaping and I've gone from hacking and wheezing climbing a single flight of stairs to being able to bicycle 40+ miles in a single day...so yeah, there's that...
Nearly six and a half years --- but there is one big negative side-effect: all the damn little mod, RTA, and RDA boxes ... I mean, they have spare parts so you have to keep them right? You can't just dump all your parts into a bin and hope you can find the grub screw for this RDA or the Oring for that tank when you need it ... and you don't want to buy a bunch of baggies and a label maker and labels --- that's good mod money right there ... so you need space for all your mods, and for all your tanks/RDAs/RTAs, and for your batteries and chargers, AND for all the damn boxes. It's a nightmare, really ... When I smoked I could just throw away the package when it was done.
10+ years and feeling mighty fine. Having a hard time recalling how crappy I felt before. I have no words to describe the utter joy of ridding myself of the cigarette ball and chain. The only side effect is giddiness and loving the vape.
Almost 6.5 years. There used to be a post about the changes you go through when you quit smoking, everything from "quit zits" to what you describe, but I can't find the link. I assume this is phlegm you are coughing up? Your body is healing from all the damage done when you smoked. If you think that's bad, wait until your sense of smell returns to full blast. I know mine had recovered when, no joke, the dog took a dump up wind from me. 
Hoping someone knows the link to that post?

I started in Late 2009.
So coming up on 10 Years.
So coming up on 10 Years.
Since late August 2014. About to hit 5 years of vaping.
It took a while for me to quit smoking. I've been vaping for a little over 5 years, however, I have been cigarette free for about 4 1/2 years.
9 yrs this month. Did all my research here and asked loads of questions...I remember all the big reviewers were here before they were reviewers. Haven't had a smoke since my first ecig arrived.
Man, only 3 months after 30 years of smoking! Although I do feel a little better, the biggest impact for me my fat wallet!
10 years and 4 months for me.
I am happy, enjoying life.

Will be 10 years in January. Never thought I could quit and look at me now.
