ETek

Planet Eclipse released the Etek as a budget version of the Ego. The Etek shares some of the same features of the Ego, but lacks some of the higher-end features like the LCD or OLED screen. The Ego also uses better manufacturing processes leaving it with a more high-end or premium feel.[7]

  • ETek2 - Announced in November 2007 and available soon thereafter, the ETek2 is the second generation ETek. Improvements over the original ETek include a lighter weight, new circuit board, redesigned trigger frame, new on/off air system, new inline regulator, new low pressure regulator, and standard 2-piece Shaft barrel. Some have commented that these upgrades make the ETek2 effectively an SL66.[8]
