Robert-Y found some super nice V Perms, that are modifications of an old one. You can execute it in a similar fashion to an E-Perm, seemingly it would be extremely fast. Take your pick!

z (D' R2 D R2) (U R' D' R U') (R U R' D R U')
U' R2 U R2 D R' U' R D' R D R' U R D'
z (U' R D R' U R U') (R D' R' U R2' D R2 D')

Video of how I execute the first one:

The chat leading upto it's discovery:
[16:54:25] <+statue> What V perm do people use?
[16:54:46] <+RobertY> R' U R' U' etc,
[16:55:02] <+Mollerz> Ya use that one
[16:55:06] <+statue> ,wiki PLL
[16:55:06] <+Nibblr> http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php?search=PLL&go=Go
[16:55:07] <+Mollerz> The one that ends with F
[16:55:08] <+Mollerz> Not my **** one
[16:55:11] <+aronpm> R'UR'd' same thing
[16:55:33] <+MLSTRM> I dont
[16:55:34] <+statue> I use R' U R' d' thing
[16:55:35] <+MLSTRM> :P
[16:55:37] <+MLSTRM> lol
[16:55:39] <+statue> I hate hate hate it
[16:56:23] <+MLSTRM> I use this: [R' U2 R U2][L U' R' U][L' U L U'][R U L']
[16:56:51] <+statue> that's disgusting
[16:56:54] <+statue> so much switching
[16:57:00] <+RobertY> I just had an idea...
[16:57:13] <+statue> shoot
[16:57:13] <BacktickEddie> i finally got enough iron i mine crfur
[16:57:30] <+RobertY> :O
[16:57:31] <+RobertY> wait
[16:57:37] <+statue> ?!
[16:58:18] <+RobertY> (R' U2 R U2) z (U R' D' R U') (R U R' D R U')
[16:58:21] <+RobertY> feels kinda nice
[16:59:02] <+MLSTRM> :O
[16:59:04] <+MLSTRM> that is nice
[16:59:13] <+statue> damn
[16:59:16] <+statue> very very nice
[16:59:39] <+statue> yeah I'm switching, unless I magically find something better on acube within the next few minutes
[16:59:47] <+MLSTRM> its not bad by doing the Z at the start eithetr
[17:00:09] <+statue> ooh
[17:00:11] <+Mollerz> **** me that is godly
[17:00:16] <+Mollerz> Learning that
[17:00:19] <+MLSTRM> :D
[17:00:22] <+MLSTRM> ish
[17:00:23] <+MLSTRM> I win
[17:00:34] <+Mollerz> ok for OH too
[17:00:38] <+Mollerz> I like mine more
[17:00:45] <+statue> z (D' R2 D R2) (U R' D' R U') (R U R' D R U')
[17:01:50] <+statue> maybe a x2 from there might be nice, too
[17:01:09] <+statue> U' R2 U R2 D R' U' R D' R D R' U R D'
[17:01:24] <+statue> yeah
[17:01:40] <+MLSTRM> yah
[17:01:42] <+MLSTRM> that one
[17:01:57] <+RobertY> this not bad either:
[17:02:15] <+statue> RobertY: I really like the x2 from that place
[17:03:03] <+RobertY> z (U' R D R' U R U') (R D' R' U R2' D R2 D')
[17:03:24] <+MLSTRM> o inverse
[17:03:33] <+RobertY> nope
[17:03:34] <+Jostle> woah that's really good
[17:03:36] <+RobertY> mirror inverse

SWEET. I've been looking for a new VPerm for a long time!

Only 3 things :

I can't find a smooth way to do the rotation with pausing.
I sometimes accidentally execute the D' as D because with this alg I pull the D' with my left ring finger pushing on LDB.
I sometimes accidentally do an R move at the end because it feels natural.

At least all of these will be fixed with practice. :D

EDIT : These were at the first one but with R' U2 R U2 z at the beginning like Robert had found.

Here's a video of how I would execute it. There are no regrips, executed very similarly to the E Perm. Definitely sub-1able in my opinion, the "fast" version at the end is just to show it runs smoothly.


EDIT: Better video

lol, i just had the z rotation, anyway, i'll still use the 'regular' one, unless i'm too lazy to do a y2 :P

(btw, isn't the alg just niklas and another anti-sune CLL with a little cancellation? :S)
 
z U' R U2 R' D' R U' R' D U' R' U R2 U' R2 U
z U' R2 U R2 U' R D' U R U R' D R U2 R' U
:)

These seem a little unwieldy in terms of fingertricking. I can do the original alg with no extra regrips besides the initial z, these seem to need at least one regrip. Also they are a little longer (+1). Thanks though, I will play with these for a bit.

They're both no-grip friendly, but the second one more so.
Thanks, qq.
