Valve cores - short/long

Waddup ya'l.

I'm replacing a leaky valve core and bought some news ones.

What the difference between short and long valve cores? One person told me they are interchangeable but the another said the long cores are for the long stems and the short cores for the short stems.

The long core seems to be very different from the short core in that the spring doesn't operate like in the short core.

Are they interchangeable?

Thanks,

No difference in their function. If you have long stems, either will work. If you have short stems, then you need short cores.
