Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the NEVERMORE MTL RTA from Unicorn Vapes Inc. The NEVERMORE MTL RTA was supplied for the purpose of this review by Trevor the owner of Unicorn Vapes Inc.
https://unicornmods.com/product/nevermore-mtl-rta-2/
Introduction
Unicorn Vapes Inc is a high end vape manufacturer based in British Columbia, Canada. Known for the Unicorn RDA in it's various versions, Vert and MDX series of mechanical mods and their collaboration with Mass Mods for the Axial RDA they produce high end products without "fleecing you" with a ridiculous price tag!
Not long ago they released the Pandemic RDA (no prizes given for what influenced it's name) which was a 26mm RDA with postless style deck and multiple airflow options which i was very positive about despite dual build RDA's generally not being my thing. More recently they have released a couple of MTL gems, the Tokamak MTL RDA and this the Nevermore MTL RTA.
The Nevermore MTL RTA is inspired by the Raven Poem from the Pen of Edgar Allan Poe and is a true MTL RTA none of this "Jack of all trades". It has both adjustable, leak resistant top to bottom airflow and also allows inserts to be placed directly underneath the coil! With it's gorgeous postless GTA style deck and bayonet top fill design i will start Raving on about the Nevermore and find out if it's pure poetry!!!!
The Nevermore was designed by Unicorn Vapes Inc, PSDBD.Custom and BeardyMcvapeface.

Aesthetics
The Nevermore MTL RTA comes in a flattish Raven poem themed cardboard box with everything inside within their own compartments on one level. I received the Matte Black version, the options are Stainless Steel and Matte Black and the whole look and general theme suit these classy colours well, it just wouldn't look right in blue or Red etc! The machining on the Nevermore is first class not just from looking at it aesthetically which is covered in this section but the machining of the inside of the inner chamber and deck is stunning in it's quality!
We have a narrow smooth base section followed by the glass tube which allows the Raven logo to be seen on the chamber. The knurled airflow control ring appears very narrow as only the lower section has raised knurling with a thinner upper section of the ring being smooth, the AFC has just one single hole which will line up with different size airflow holes beneath. The top-cap has a castle look to it and is very bold aesthetically, this is topped off by a curvy nipple shaped MTL 510 fitting drip-tip.
Moving to the base we have branding and the serial number which is all beautifully engraved, the Silver plated 510 nicely protrudes so no issues using this on a mechanical device if you so wish!

What You Receive?
As well as the Nevermore RTA you also receive a spare glass, as for capacity it's not listed which is quite clever as i have seen this no bother on UK sites so let's just say a very generous 2ml, lol!
you also receive 4 airflow inserts with different sized airflow holes and a more substantial 510 drip tip although i much prefer the pre-installed one and of course you can fit one of your own if you prefer!
Finally in a separate bag you get spare O-rings, grub screws and an hex Allen key! I am always consistent in my belief that any rebuildable should come with what is required to do at least one build so a con for me that no coil and cotton is included, also struggling for certain specs on this as demonstrated by lack of clarity over capacity, maybe a manual would of helped?
___________________________________________________________________
It's Various Parts!
The Nevermore breaks down into it's various parts and can be reassembled very easily and i can't state strongly enough just how good both the machining and threading is on this RTA! Up top we have a curvy Delrin nipple style MTL 510 which can be swapped for one of your own or use the supplied wider one although the internal bore is very similar.
We then have a bayonet fitting top-cap so just a quarter of a turn and it's off and quarter of a turn to secure although the very pronounced castle shaped design does dig into the fingers when removing and securing which is no big issue but needs mentioning! Also the bayonet fitting has no stopper which didn't make any difference to me as i just secure clockwise as normal and a quarter turn counter clockwise to release but i suppose if for some reason someone secured counter clockwise (which this allows as it has no stopper) and forgets so naturally turns it counter clockwise again to release they will actually be securing it even more rather than releasing it and as i see no benefit in the design i am baffled by the thought process behind it! With top-cap removed we have 2 very generous fill ports so no issues using any type of nozzle!
The base section with build deck has a narrow smooth section exposed which unscrews very smoothly and with no issues. I did wonder about lack of grip but the Matte Black version i have has a naturally grippy finish but maybe the Shiny Stainless Steel version could of benefitted from some knurling to match the AFC aesthetically but i am just assuming, maybe that unscrews just as hassle free!
The glass section is sealed and secured by substantial O-rings but using a pinching motion with the chamber releases it very easily. This leaves the fill plate and dual chamber section with incorporated top airflow. The airflow control ring can also be removed easily and only the lower section where we have the airflow hole has protruding knurling and the upper section is smooth giving just a narrow band for gripping, i had no real issues but someone with fatter fingers could find airflow adjustment a bit fiddly but i am being very petty!

Airflow Inserts
On the deck underneath where the coil will be positioned we have a circular void which is fed either side by a fluted chute. Your insert just gets press fitted into this void where it is secured by an O-ring. The top disc of the insert doesn't quite rest on the deck (this would cause shorting) which means your nail can get underneath to lift the insert free, you can't swap these out on the fly but with an open deck they pop in and out with no effort, i do like them.
You get four inserts with different size airflow bores and wish the size was etched onto them. This is true MTL alright and the best i can do to describe the different sizes is as very small, tiny, very tiny and microscopic, you get the idea! The biggest one is maybe the same size as the smallest hole on the top airflow series of inlets!
I have seen a photo online that has more inserts and when i enquired was told there will be a newer version with these extra inserts but after using this RTA i found it is fully covered with the four already included!
