New Project – Dingo

Posted on by atmizoo

Today we are introducing Dingo, an elegant tube mod for fans of simplicity.

Dingo is developed side-by-side with the Roller, our retractable tube mod — and, as one would expect, the two will look very much alike. Dingo will essentially be a non-retractable version of Roller, so — save the retractable part — every component of Roller will be used on Dingo, too.

However, we are planning to give the Dingo at least some of the flexibility offered by Roller, so we will make it possible to fit various battery sizes in the Dingo with the addition of fixed-size extensions.

In essence, the Dingo will be a better value-for-money option, targeted at those that do not require — or are willing to sacrifice some of — the flexibility of the Roller.

    Hello atmizoo,

    in the description it says “In essence, the Dingo will be a better value-for-money option, targeted at those that do not require — or are willing to sacrifice some of — the flexibility of the Roller.”

    After a lot of thinking i decided that I don’t really need the flexibility of the Roller. Yes, the threads seem to be working flawlessley and I’d love feel them roll back and forth the way they do , but in essence I’d only ever use 18650 batteries with it. So I think the Dingo would be the perfect choice for me, but it’s not really the better value-for-money option, at least not for those looking solely for a 18650 device.

      It’s a bummer for me, but I get what you mean and it makes sense. It’s hard to make everything perfect for everybody, isn’t it? Guess I’ll wait for that fixed length 18650 tube or I’ll have to settle for the Roller.
      What an oxymoron it is putting two words like “compromise” and “Roller” in the same sentence.. 😛

      Keep up your good work guys!

      Hello Tsiggy,

      Your criticism is a reasonable one, however, the better-value-for-money claim is still valid if you want a compact device for 18350 batteries only.

      So far, we have only seen significant demand for the #RD-T2 extension, which will allow you to use 18500 batteries, (or 18350 batteries + Kick) with the Dingo. This one will be priced much lower than the #RD-T3, since it has been produced from the ground up as an extension, unlike #RD-T3.

      Due to #RD-T3’s very low projected (and actual) demand as an extension, it is not produced in quantities larger than the other Dingo components, which means that, at the moment, for every standalone #RD-T3 sold, a Dingo needs to be taken apart and re-matched.

      The demand for a fixed-length 18650 extension is even lower – so, although it’s in our future plans, it is certainly not so high in our priorities list.
