Title: How do SwitchTop and Originative Springs compare?
Post by: ArchDill on Sun, 19 February 2017, 02:48:53
Originative is out of the 62g springs so I bought some from Switch Top. Is there really a difference? I only needed 20 more but I have a friend that has been looking for some and can not get any offers. So I figured that I would just order a new set since I barely had enough for even the alphas.

Springs are springs. Both should be about the same. Any difference would be really small.

Ok, that is what I was thinking. Thanks!

Just don't waste your money on gold plated springs. They're actually worse than regular springs because the gold plating can fall off over time.

My only gold spring experience was pretty bad. I prefer the silver. People say there is no difference but my 62g S have more spring back than my Sprit 67g gold.

I only got gold springs for my ergo-clears cause I didn't wanna wait another week for the stainless ones to come back in stock.
