Using original MK2S nozzle vs hardened steel ?

Hi!

I have purchased the new MK2S kit and waiting for it to arrive 🙂

I have read that some filaments need a hardened steel/stainless steel nozzle and will ruin the included brass one ?

I have ordered the following sample kits (50g) from Formfutura and I'm worried that some of them will wear out my original nozzle in 1-2 prints.

1.75 HDGlass
1.75 ABSPRO
1.75 ClearScent ABS
1.75 EasyFil PLA
1.75 EasyWood
1.75 EasyFil HIPS
1.75 CarbonFil
1.75 ApolloX
1.75 CrystalFlex

and a roll of EasyFIL Gold PLA.

1. Do you have any experience with those filaments?
2. Know where to look to find out what are safe to use with original nozzle (mainly in regards to excess wear on nozzle) ?
3. Can I buy E3D v6 stainless steel/hardened steel nozzle and switch them anytime between switching materials or should I leave the hardened one on the machine permanently ?
4. As a hobbyst I think stainless steel 0.4mm nozzle would be the best universal solution for me to begin with ?

PS! I'm from Estonia so if anyone knows where to get it here it would be great. Paying a lot for shipping is not what I would prefer 😉

Hope you can calm my fears and help me out 🙂
