I have yet to come across a single E-tech weapon besides the one you get from Dr. Zed's mission, and I have over 60 hours playtime now. I think they're a bit rare... And I've only encountered three Chubby mobs, but they dropped some insane loot...

TVH mode is indeed really, really hard, even for me with a slow and tactical approach to every situation. Its certainly miles farther on the difficutly scale than both "hard" modes on Borderlands. The Badass enemies are incredibly tough at times and even quite a few regular mobs can withstand headshot criticals with my Sniper (28-32k damage a pop, depening on resistance and skill stacks). I'm dreading the RPG Loaders and Hyperion Snipers in the mech areas already...

After looking it up, it turns out that a few other mission rewards are E-Tech, which I did not realize either.  The Dart/Spiker tag on pistols indicates E-Tech, for example.  Basically, anything with bolded pink text.  I also remember a Splatgun mission reward, which is E-Tech.

Yesterday, I got a Plasma Caster (SMG) E-Tech weapon from a chest, and I have to say, I'm not very impressed.  Maybe I just don't know how to use it, but the accuracy is insane, trying to hit anything at any distance is impossible.  It basically shoots balls of Slag which bouce around, I even got hit by my own reflected shots.  I just don't get E-Tech.
