I have been thoroughly enjoying my black and silver Merlin V1s so much that I went ahead and ordered another one of each on efun. I'm hoping their models are the V2s. I haven't had any issues at all with the V1s, but I'd like to see if there are any differences. I also finally got around to trying a notch coil in a Merlin and they're excellent for TC. Nice flavor and super easy wicking with a notch coil.
