Product Recall by Planet Eclipse - EGO 8 Owner Take Note

Yup, all you EGO 8 owners.There's a product recall for a major defect on the Ego8 Inline Regulator Swivel Collar that will cause leaks.Checkout the posting at PBNation by P.E. Boss@Hasnatah of Nemesis had this problem during the recent NPL on his virgin Ego 8.

27th November 2007 - Official Planet Eclipse Press Release.

This press release applies to all Ego8 that were manufactured prior to 9th November 2007.

As a result of our continuous testing, we have recently discovered an Ego8 Inline Regulator Swivel Collar that displayed a defect that resulted in a leak that could only be stopped by replacing the swivel collar component.

Upon examining the faulty component, and with subsequent investigation, we have determined that there is a potential fault in a batch of material used to manufacture a number of Ego 8 Inline Regulator Swivel Collars. As such these components will need to be replaced as soon as possible.

Swivel Collars with a potential fault are easily identifiable by the "ECLIPSE" engraving on the component, in particular the spacing between the "C" and the "L" (see bottom image) and the spacing between the "S" and the final "E" (see top image).

- If the letters touch then the component is acceptable and does not need replacement.
- If there is a noticeable gap between the letters, as highlighted in the two attached pictures, then the component will need to be replaced as soon as possible to ensure the highest possible performance of your Ego8 marker.

Please refer to the attached images to determine if your Ego 8 Inline Regulator Swivel Collar is potentially faulty and if so please obtain a replacement using either of the methods outlined below:

Replacement Ego 8 Inline Regulator Swivel Collars will be available from the Eclipse Tech Support Booth at the following events in 2007/8:

- San Diego NPPL (30 November - 2 December 2007)
- PALS Asia World Cup (7 - 9 December 2007)

- All NPPL events in 2008.
- All PSP events in 2008.

Pickadoll - Ignition's new marker

Last Saturday, Torell Per from Stockholm Ignition showed us the new Pickadoll. I love the push pull bolt, saves alot of hassle! It's fast and very light! But it is pretty expensive! It's because it's still new I guess. Nevertheless, it shoots fast, almost-no kick at all, very air efficient. I'd shoot one anyday!
