Introduction
Wotofo are best known for their atomizer collaborations with reviewers whether it be the SMM Serpent or the more recent Profile series but do occasionally release a device and it seems the ever growing pod mod market became just too tempting for them not to enter.
The Manik is a Power only device for sub-ohm DL vaping so not for those that like a restricted draw. Powered by the newly developed NEXCHIP it has a top wattage of 80w and accommodates a single 18650 battery. With a waterproof pod bay and securely fitting pod that clips in place it can be filled via it's top-fill design without removing from the device. The pod accommodates a choice of 4 different D-series coil heads which house different variants of nexMESH but can also accommodate both Voopoo PnP and Vaporesso GTX coil heads giving plenty of options. The display can be customised and it comes in a choice of 4 different Zinc Alloy finishes with a Nano Coating, let's give it a look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Manik came in the usual Black and Wotofo Green cardboard packaging with clear plastic lid covered by printed branding and information. I received the Black Nano version which refers to the main Zinc Alloy chassis and has a Red leather effect spine. The options are Nano Gunmetal, Nano Chrome, Nano Black and Prism Gunmetal, the Nano versions have a Nanotech coating giving it an easy clean durable finish!
A lot of these pod mods with there being so many look very similar and no different here. The spine on the Manik although having a slight pliability is not padded like on some others and is a synthetic leather effect rather than real leather but it looks nice enough, has MANIK embossed into it and also has the usual 2 rows of stitching, the overall form factor is very ergonomic and it feels great in the hand!
On the face we have a switch style fire button up top which curves inwards and can be pressed anywhere (very nice fire button) then below a large TFT colour screen. We then have side by side protruding square navigational buttons followed underneath by a micro USB port. Right at the bottom on the face we have "NEXCHIP INSIDE" and also some branding on both sides which is too much! On the base we have the battery hatch door with safety marks and moving up top we have the tinted protruding pod with incorporated drip tip. Either side on the decice at the top we have a large airflow slot and finally back to the face on the pod it has a large rectangular catch that clips on to the device!

The Pod
The pod is tinted with solid plastic top and integrated drip tip so you can't fit your own. To the rear of the drip tip we have a silicone piece with an arrow showing where it needs to be lifted. To the front of the pod we have a textured large rectangular catch that clips to the device when installing. Moving to the base of the pod we have the circular opening for the coil to get press fitted into place.
When lifting the flap it stays attached to the pod revealing a large fill port plenty big enough to also allow air to escape while filling for a quick mess free experience. I wish in general the pod was lighter for better liquid level visibility but when training the eye on the pod you can see the liquid level both when filling and in general use so no need to remove to check the level. Once filled push the silicone flap back into position, the plug seals the port very well, the standard pod holds 4.5ml of liquid while of course the TPD version holds 2ml.

The Coil Heads
There are 4 different D series coil heads available 2 of which are included which get press fitted into the metal chamber of the pod and is sealed via an O-ring.
The included coils are the D14 A1 Conical nexMESH coil head which has a resistance of 0.20ohm and best at rating of 35 - 40W. The other included coil is the D15 Clapton Mesh Coil Head again with a 0.20ohm resistance and best at rating of 45 - 55W.
The other two D series coil heads are the D11 coil head and D13 coil head so no idea what they have against the number 12 unless it's a superstition thing! The D11 is the net mesh coil head with again a 0.20ohm resistance and a best at rating of 34 - 55W and finally the D13 A1 nexMESH coil head which yet again has a resistance of 0.20ohm and best at rating of 37 - 43W.
One of the big pros for the Manik is the cross compatibility. Both the Vaporesso GTX coil heads and Voopoo PnP coil heads fit the Manik pod and the D series coils can be used with Vaporesso GTX and Voopoo PnP compatible devices!

Fitting The Pod
The Manik has a watertight pod bay so if you do get any leaking it won't get into the device. The bay looks neat and tidy and we can see the seals around the Gold plated, spring loaded contacts and also around the internal perimeter. we can also see the large airflow slots and cut-out front section which is where the clip on the pod attaches!
The pod gets installed back end first and then you lower the front of the pod and it clips securely in place!
___________________________________________________________________
The Airflow
We have a large slot either side which allows plenty of air to the base of the pod where in enters through the coil head airflow inlets and up through the centre bore of the coil head, it's not adjustable!
