Was it the Smoktech R tank?
I started with Genesis style atomizers. It is a toss up because I feel like it is easier to wrap a coil around SS mesh, but then you have a ton of problems with shorts and it is really complex to get it to work well. However, with RDAs, it is a major PITA to wrap the coil around silica, but is more forgiving as far as getting the coil to work correctly.
For beginner Genesis style tanks, you should look into the RSST. I liked it because it has only a few parts, so it is easy to clean and put together. On top of that, the actual tank is very nice and it is insulated through the wick hole, making it easier to set up.
As far as RDA's go, I like the IGO W. It is pretty cheap and easier to get taken apart. As I said, wrapping a coil around a silica wick is super frustrating, but once you get that down, it is not bad.
You can build silica wicks on genesis atomizers and it will work similarly. Now with all of the Ithaka clones, you could start at that end too, but they require non-resistance wire and resistance wire.
With any RDA/RBA, you should always check the ohms before firing it on a mod.
