but what other things do vegans or vegeterians have to watch out for? Other than B12.

Iron,
Expert estimates that 600 million -2 billion ppl world wide are iron deficient.
Those (Omnivores) who consume predominantly white meat are already at risk of deficiency ( only red meat - Lamb , Beef, and maybe salmon containthe most bioavailable form of iron ). So it shouldnt be surprising that practicing veganism place you at greater risk of iron deficiency. Many silent ex-vegetarians i know dropped out of the diet due to extreme fatigue and weakness.
New Vegetarian Tired All The Time, Suspects Iron Deficiency
Zinc : THis is well known
Healthy Fat and fat soluble vitamins : Many vegetarians still think that saturated fats cause heart disease despite the evidence that there is no saturated fat in artery clog. If saturated fats cause heart disease we should all be dead by now due to frequent inflammation cause by fats (saturated ) stored in our body.
