Smoktech RSST is a good "beginner's" Genesis, but I got along fine with the Aga T2 - once I'd got a 2.5mm drill bit to wrap my coils around.
Check my previous posts for links to the best Vamo kits on Fasttech.com, they come with a Nitecore charger which is excellent. You'll want 350 sized batteries for mini Mode, so check on Fasttech.com again for these - you'll want to pay more for decent, high mAh batteries ; it's not necessary to buy protected ones for the Vamo, but save yourself buying twice when you go for the inevitable mech mod upgrade and get them
As for wick & mesh,
www.vape-atomizer-mesh.com are who I use and have been great. Don't buy masses at first, I think they do a selection pack; varying grades of mesh & wire to try. Once you've discovered your perfect combination, then stock up! I'd also recommend trying a small piece of Stainless Steel rope (7x7 or 7x19), as this has been used as a wick with some great results .
As mentioned many times, YouTube is your friend. Pbusardo and Todd's ecig reviews have some clear & simple guides to follow . Both are actively involved on the larger Vaping forums.
Good luck on your journey, there's lots to learn; have patience and don't give up!
Also, once you've got a coil & wick working well, DON'T TOUCH IT! If it ain't broke, don't fix it; the cardinal rule of rebuildables!
