Description - Reload Essential RDA 24mm
Reload Essential RDA 24mm
Versatile rebuilding in a clean, compact 24mm format. The Reload Essential RDA by Reload Vapor USA is a rebuildable dripping atomiser designed for experienced vapers who want the freedom to run either single or dual-coil builds from the same deck.
Its four-post build deck provides straightforward coil installation, while adjustable dual airflow lets you tailor the draw from restricted-direct-lung through to a more open DL inhale. A gold-plated positive post, robust 304 stainless-steel body and supplied bottom-feed pin complete a flexible RDA that can be used for conventional dripping or squonking.
Two proprietary drip tips are included, one stainless steel and one PEEK, along with an 810 adaptor for further customisation.

Why Choose the Reload Essential RDA?
Dual Airflow
Adjustable airflow on both sides of the deck lets you tune the inhale from restricted-direct-lung through to a more open DL draw.
Squonk Ready
Fit the supplied BF pin to feed e-liquid directly into the deck from a compatible bottom-feed squonk device.
Three Drip Tip Options
Choose between the supplied stainless steel or PEEK proprietary tips, or use your preferred compatible 810 tip with the included adaptor.
Leak Resistant
The airflow and deck layout are designed to help keep e-liquid contained during normal dripping and squonk use.
24mm Format
The compact 24mm diameter gives the Essential a clean fit on compatible mods with sufficient atomiser space.
Four-Post Single & Dual-Coil Deck
The defining feature of the Reload Essential is its four-post build deck.
Unlike an RDA dedicated to one coil configuration, the Essential gives you the choice of running a single or dual-coil build. This makes it useful for builders who like changing their setup without changing atomiser.
Coil legs are positioned under the deck screws and secured using the supplied custom Reload screwdriver. Once fitted, the coil or coils can be positioned in relation to the airflow before wicking.
Single Coil or Dual Coil?
| Build | Best For | Typical Result |
|---|---|---|
| Single Coil | Efficiency / RDL | Lower power, simpler build, focused flavour |
| Dual Coil | DL / Vapour | More heat, airflow and vapour production |
The correct resistance and power level depend on the specific wire, coil configuration and mod you use.
Adjustable Dual Airflow
The Essential uses dual adjustable airflow to supply air across the build from both sides.
Close the airflow down for a more concentrated RDL inhale, or open it progressively for increased airflow and a looser direct-lung draw.
With dual coils installed, the twin airflow design helps provide balanced airflow across both sides of the deck.
Leak-Resistant Design
The Reload Essential is designed to help reduce unwanted e-liquid leakage during normal use.
As with any rebuildable dripping atomiser, correct wicking and sensible liquid levels remain important. Over-dripping can still allow e-liquid to reach the airflow openings, so add only enough liquid to saturate the cotton and deck.
When using a squonk mod, release the bottle after feeding e-liquid so excess liquid can return through the bottom-feed system.
Bottom-Feed & Squonk Compatibility
The Essential can be configured for either traditional dripping or bottom-feed squonking.
- Standard pin: for use on a conventional compatible 510 mod
- BF pin: for use with a compatible bottom-feed squonk device
Always install the correct pin before fitting the RDA to your device.
Steel, PEEK & 810 Drip Tip Options
Two proprietary mouthpieces are supplied with the Reload Essential.
- Stainless steel drip tip — provides a solid metallic finish that matches the RDA body
- PEEK drip tip — uses heat-resistant material that can be useful with warmer builds
An 810 adaptor is also included, allowing you to fit a broader selection of compatible 810 drip tips.
Gold-Plated Positive Post
The Essential uses a gold-plated positive post designed to provide reliable electrical conductivity between the atomiser and your device.
This complements the rebuildable platform and helps provide consistent power delivery to the installed coil configuration.
304 Stainless Steel Construction
The main body of the Reload Essential is manufactured from robust 304 stainless steel.
PEEK components are used where heat resistance and insulation are required, helping create a durable atomiser suitable for regular rebuildable use.
Which E-Liquid Should I Use?
The Reload Essential is designed primarily for RDL and DL vaping, so higher-VG e-liquids are generally the best match for typical builds.
A high-VG e-liquid such as 70VG/30PG is a good starting point for many direct-lung builds.
Higher-powered RDA builds produce considerably more vapour per puff than MTL devices, so lower nicotine strengths are normally more suitable.
The ideal liquid will depend on your final resistance, coil size, airflow setting and wattage.
How to Build the Reload Essential RDA
- Choose an appropriate single or dual-coil build for your regulated device and batteries.
- Install the coil legs into the four-post deck.
- Secure the coils using the supplied Reload screwdriver.
- Position the coil or coils evenly in relation to the airflow.
- Check the completed resistance using a regulated mod or dedicated resistance meter.
- Pulse carefully at low power and remove hotspots if necessary.
- Allow the coil to cool completely before inserting cotton.
- Trim and position the wick in the juice well without packing it too tightly.
- Saturate the cotton and coils thoroughly with e-liquid.
- Refit the top cap and adjust airflow.
- Start at a conservative wattage and increase gradually to suit your build.
For squonk use, fit the supplied BF pin before mounting the RDA.
Reload Essential vs Reload S RDA
| Feature | Essential RDA | Reload S RDA |
|---|---|---|
| Deck | Four-Post | Postless |
| Coils | Single / Dual | Single |
| Airflow | Dual Adjustable | Adjustable |
| Drip Tips | Steel / PEEK + 810 adaptor | 810 Widebore |
| Squonk | Yes | Yes |
Choose the Reload Essential if you want the flexibility to move between single and dual-coil builds. The Reload S is the more focused option if you specifically prefer a compact single-coil postless deck.
Who Is the Reload Essential RDA For?
The Reload Essential RDA is intended for experienced vapers who understand rebuildable atomisers, coil resistance and battery safety.
- Experienced RDA builders
- Single and dual-coil users
- RDL and DL vapers
- Squonk users looking for a BF-compatible 24mm RDA
- Users who want multiple drip-tip options
- Builders who prefer a traditional four-post deck
- Users looking for a versatile everyday rebuildable dripper
