I usually almost never go demolisher cuz you get only a weak weapon at normal games. I like to do Demolisher with electro cannon after 5 min tactic.
1. Buy demolisher (1900) at start with basic magic (1111) ... after 5 min you maybe/probably have 2 basic magics if you not so unlucky.
2. Buy demolisher after 5-6 mins as tinker with electro cannon (2700) + (75) Tp cost
Lets take a practical comparison.
Example 1: You buy a demolisher (1900) with basic magic (1111). Cuz of the weak weaponpower, it's hard to earn cash with it at start. Maybe you can afford a another basic magic after 5 min. (If you can afford a much better weapon after 5 min, you probably encountered much less skilled players.) Also the demolisher have the powerful skill: mines, which may give safe kills if you know how to use it properly and with some luck. But nonetheless, not giving much in the first 5 min cuz it's low level at start, and you don't have time to plant so many mines before 5 min have passed... Also demolisher has slower income rate on creep kills than a heli or light tank with better weapon at start. After 5 min you tank is about lv4-6 (7?). So why go demolisher when you can gamble on tinker and...
Example 2: Buy a electro cannon (2700) as tinker. If you can get the first tower finished at start, without getting hunted down and lose your tower before it's finished, You may get a safe foothold. A tower with electro cannon is quite dangerous and also provide safe income with creeps kills at right position. Little chance of losing tower, unless enemy teamwork of 2-3 tanks will overpower it effective if unsupported by nearby friendly tanks/another tinker tower. Normally this tactic will give the successful tinker normally about 1500-2200 gold after 5 min (force gold included), depends how much you lucked the creeps and perhaps a tank kill. Take care and not die to much since each death cost 75 (teleport costs). If you can afford a demolisher after 5 min, you get a 2000 hp demolisher with a electro cannon. You're now probably about lv3-5.
You can try to do this same thing with energy torpedo (2800), but will most likely earn less gold since it has very slow fire rate and lower dps than electro cannon. On the other hand, increased chance to luck kill enemy tanks. I never go tinker with energy torpedo so I don't know how much you will earn after 5 min. (Maybe a wild guess: 1000-1800 gold)
Many dislikes use of tinker cuz they are so easy to kill. But many people have very different opinions on tinker noobage...
