It has a JFC!
Clockwise to shut it
Counter clockwise to open it... don't go all the way, you gonna end up unscrewing the tank....
I'm really surprise 2 mls last longer than I [emoji189]

In my definition a proper JFC is supposed to be able to shut completely the ejuice from reaching your wick, as far as this condition is concerned Merlin Mini does not has a JFC.
Even though the 4 juice holes looked shut, juice still flow through as shown by red arrows in the diagram below:
If you unscrew a bit the tank from the base, you get something like below:
That makes it looked like 2 out of the 4 juice holes are fully opened. (In fact all 4 of the juice holes are intaking juice)
For MTL vaping, because juice comsumption rate is relatively lower compare to DTL, this step is rather unnessary.
For juice with high VG, DTL and chained vaping, then may be you should do the above.
To me "losen your tank from the base a bit" in order to have bigger juice flow is WEIRD.
If I did the WEIRD and leave my Merlin Mini (filled with juice) over 24 hours, I often found
seaping. (and it won't saep if I screw my tank very tight to the base, making all 4 juice holes looked shut).
This tank is a downgrade of the 4ml ordinary Augvape Merlin. They have sacrificed user-friendliness and practicality for the fancy short-and-fatty look.

I don't turn it. I just leave it screwed together tight. Juice flows in the channel regardless because it doesn't close, it's just not lined up with the cups.
I'm very pleased with this tank! It dropped the height of the Pico even further which was exactly what I was after.

Looks great! I thought the Pico could only take 23mm or smaller diameter?I'm very pleased with this tank! It dropped this height of the Pico even further which was exactly what I was after.
I grazed it (battery cap) with my Dremel a few times and voila! You can't hardly tell. The only frustration is that I have to unscrew the tank to change batteries. I am going to grind it a tad further and see if I can remedy that. Either way no regrets.
Everyone has different vaping style, I believe MTL vapers do not need the bigger juice holes.
I did turn mine to open the juice hole fully and I have a good reason to do so.
In my case, after a few draws like what I usually did, if I turn the tank and open the juice hole, I see bubble coming out immediately. To me, this implies a more efficient juice intake when the juice hole is opened and most importantly, my style of vaping requires that.
I would sugget you to do your own experiment, just shut all the holes as you usually do, take your draws like you normally do, then loosen your tank a bit to open the juice hole fully. Is a bubble coming out from the opened juice hole? If your answer is YES, then you probably will need to open the juice holes as what I have done.
HiClass, I understand your point...kind of, but in reality the Mini does have JFC. It does NOT have a complete shut off, but you yourself use the JFC to control the amount of juice flow...that means it is "juice flow control".
So the proper answer when someone asks if there is JFC on the Merlin Mini is YES it does, but it does not have juice flow shut off. I'm just pointing out that you use it and you adjust the flow of your juice.
The Mage and a few others do not have any juice flow control.
I am not trying to totally disagree with you or start an argument. I respect your views. I do understand what your are saying.
Vape with joy!

No MMW, just the single deck so far. I have only had it a day and a half so probably will try out the dual coil deck tomorrow. Do you have a preference? I'm getting great flavor and plenty of vapor off the single. Kind of afraid to see the juice go down any faster using the dual deck! LOL
Definitely single coil. Nothing wrong with dual deck at all, as it's a great machined deck, but the single vapes just as well like you said. Plus, I've gone back to single coil with zero regrets. With Bellus and Boreas as the exception.
I still use my Boreas everyday. The flavor on it is "different" than any other atty I have. Not sure how to explain/describe the difference. I just love it.
