Hello and welcome.... I dunno, if you call breathing better, having more energy, can taste and smell again, and my hair and skin have never looked better, then yes, I guess they would be side effects.
Don't buy one you just came across. Chances are it is junk or an overpriced ripoff. Do a bit of research. If it's inexpensive you could try it but don't count on it being a particularly a good model to keep vaping. If you want a model to keep vaping and quit cigs, then do research first.
There are possible effects. Many are caused by cessation of the 4000+ chemicals that are in cigarettes and not in e-cigarettes. Then there are ones that can be caused by the skin irritation of nicotine if you use harsh juices or the overuse of nicotine.

Health, Safety and E-Smoking
In general, there is no ingredient in ecigs that isn't in cigs. PG and VG can use used as humectants in tobacco. And there is nicotine and flavoring. Nicotine and flavorings are also in cigarettes.
And for smokers there can be a lot of good effects. As for non-smokers, they shouldn't vape.

Side effects?
No more coughing your lungs out. No more stinky ash trays. No more smelly car seats. No more brown tar accumulating on everything within smoking distance.
No more $6.00 for a pack of cigs. No more ashes flying in your face. No more wife complaining about the smoke.
These are just a few of my favorite things.

no dirty ashtrays, no wondering if you should just repaint the walls and ceiling tar gold, no brown gunders rolling down your windows and mirrors when you wash them. also sense of smell, taste and freedom return.
Edited to add: no wondering if you're killing your family/pets

none, but good things like better lung capacity, breathing, taste, no cancer causing chemical, no smells, no stains no burnt clothes, the list goes on!
I haven't noticed any side-effects other than the ones normally attributed to stopping smoking. But I had quit smoking before, several times, so I pretty much knew what to expect. Good luck with whatever you decide.
Wow, you guys sound like an electronic cigarette commercial...
But yeah, most everone here could produce just such a commercial.
That is how stoked we are to be free... finally.... and no longer killing ourselves.

No more searching for an exit in a public building that doesn't have no smoking signs outside let alone no standing in the rain when you find one.
Nobody knows what the long-term effects might be, but if there are any, they are likely to be on a minuscule scale compared to the effects of tobacco smoking. You're going to be inhaling the same stuff they put in asthma inhalers and post-op lung transplant patients' nebulizers, plus cake flavorings. The nicotine can be virtually ignored unless you are pregnant or have severe heart disease.
Some things that can be stated here:
1. Ideally you wouldn't inhale anything at all for 40 years (except clean country air). But if you did, you have to expect that some people will be intolerant to it. Some may die, due to previously-existing lung disease or an intolerance to one of the ingredients.
2. The death rate from e-cigarette use will most likely be so incredibly small compared to that from tobacco smoking that, for all practical purposes, it may be possible to consider it of no practical consequence. But - we don't know yet.
3. After worldwide use by millions of people for several years, no health incidents have been reported. There are few materials that could have that same profile except maybe pepsi and apples. Even aspirin would fail that test. Also, there are no reports of children dying from drinking a bottle of refill liquid, either - probably because kids don't like to drink stuff that tastes like drain cleaner.
It's safe, but not absolutely safe. It will harm some people but they are likely to be an unlucky, vulnerable few - few being the operative word, most likely. Over 400,000 die from smoking every year in the US, and if all smokers converted to e-cigs the death rate would probably be a tiny, tiny fraction of that. But to be honest, at this moment in time, we don't know the full story. It's not likely to be as safe as genuine Swedish Snus for example, where 25 years of research shows them to be safe, as long-term inhalation of materials is likely to have implications for some.
No one is going to be harmed by 4 or 5 years of use, as there has been a global 'trial' that clearly tells us this. However if you are an ex-smoker with emphysema, COPD and heart disease, then there may be implications and you might be better off going with Snus in order to maximise your remaining time. People with emphysema have a higher risk of pneumonia, so inhaling anything is probably best avoided.

LOL. Yeah so I started about a month ago...I've got loads of e juice from a few different vendors beginning to accumulate. If you spend your monthly cigarette budget on this stuff you will soon become overstocked.
No problems here except I'm a mod ..... now....LOL. The only side effect that I've had is an empty bank account.
Bozzlite, it's obvious you haven't smoked analogs in a while, hahah $6.00 a pack? I was paying $9.00+ when I quit 3 weeks ago
my bank account thanks me!!
I I I jjj just gotta make more toys.......I cant help it...lol
other than that I don't wake up coughing up a lung..
I have a much better sense of smell..."wow I smelled that bad...?"
I can run up 4 flights of stairs again w/o wheezing...
I guess you can call that side affects...if so I can take more of those where is the line...I want seconds...

Different locations are differet prices. In Ohio, a pack of Camel light 99's will run you about 4.50 around here. 5 bucks at the expensive places.
