In a thread on the German forum, somebody posted a cool F-perm I hadn't seen:

R'U'F'RUR'U'R'FR2U'R'U'RUR'UR

This is essentially R' U' F' {T-perm} with an obvious cancellation at the end. I had never noticed that setup before, but I'm switching to it, at least for big cubes.

I know that some people use a conjugated V-perm alg, also for the F: R'U2R'U'yR'F'R2U'R'UR'FRU'F

And until everyone switched to Rowe's E, this was going around: R2UR'U'yRUR'U'RUR'U'RUR'y'RU'R2 = [R2UR'U'y: (RUR'U')3]

Does anybody else have any particularly cool PLL conjugates they like?
 
I was using that F and E perm for a while now, they helped my awkward fingertricks a lot ;)

What is that V-perm you mentioned?

\edit: Also, no conjugate but pretty cool though: r U r' U' r' F r2 U' r' U' r U r' F' U

Do you mean like how
T Perm - (R U R' U') (R' F) (R2 U' R') U' (R U R' F')
J (b) Perm - (R U R' F') (R U R' U') (R' F) (R2 U' R') U'

The part at the end is just moved to the front

or

V perm - (R' U R' d') (R' F') (R2 U' R' U) (R' F R F)
F perm - (R' U2 R' d') (R' F') (R2 U' R' U) (R' F R U' F)
U added in the first segment, and in the last, but otherwise the same.

Are those what you mean?
 

Oh, I know that alg. Learned it from Erik a year or 2 ago.
Some of my COLLs, like F2RU'R'U'RdRUR'B'RU'R, are conjugates of PLLs. I guess you could say that FRU'R'U'RdRUR'B'RU'R2 is a F' conjugate of the COLL with cancellation. You can think about them either way. I've always tried to turn PLLs or other COLLs to COLLs, I've never tried to turn conjugated COLLs into PLLs. Conjugates of other PLLs to PLLs are rarely good.

*Reserved post to edit once I understand how cool this is*

EDIT: I think I just found my OH F perm.
Try LRU2R'U'RU2L'RURURU'R'U'R2U', it's a J-perm + U perm combination with cancellations.

Y permutation (do not recommend lol)

Put the base of the Y on the upper left

R U R' U (L permutation/Jb permutation) U' R U' R'
 
Jeremy showed me this F perm a while ago. I think it's amazing how the corner orientation is preserved. I don't know where he learned it though.
