Say there is a device but it doesn't use 510 or ego type connection. Rather, it is a proprietary connection between the atty and battery. And they are sold as a bundle.
would you buy a device with a proprietary connection?

It depends on the features of the bundle. It would have to be a pretty special set up...Probably not. I like the fact that all my batteries and clearos are interchangeable.
I believe you are referring to a one piece unit. If so they are known as Hybrids. The tank unit is directly attached to the mod. There are many out there. You will need to know coil building since almost all if not all are rebuild-able.
The Zenesis is top of line:
ElectronicStix.Com · Zenesis ASH II Standard 18650 Mod
Here is the other end of the spectrum:

Really a really bad idea. The only thing excusing that would be it producing the best vape experience ever created. Chances are far more likely it's a way to get you suckered into only buying what a single company sells. Go-Go KR808-D3 anyone?
No... I Don't think I would.
Unless it Could Pick Winning Lotto Numbers. And Cure E.D while Re-Growing Hair.
I typically wouldn't buy something with a proprietary connection, but I might consider a hybrid if I was sensitive to the size of the device.
I sort of kind of did. I use the Volt X2, which has a standard 808 thread--except that the topper I use also uses the X2 extended skirt thread, which makes it proprietary.
You can theoretically mate an eGo threaded item to it, but it's touchy. However, if you want to do that, an 808 to eGo adapter will work.
So although I can't use my X2 extended thread items on anything else, I can use anything else on my X2 battery.
Prices are reasonable for the X2, and they make the only automatic spinner and one of the few automatic large batteries I've ever found, so I'm not unhappy.

Proprietary is the reason why I personally don't own a hybrid device. I have at home mods and out and about mods. Toppers get switched based on my mood and the flavor in them. I personally would hate to take some of my nicer stuff out and damage/loose it because I wanted to vape flavor X while out and about.
don't do it. thousands of 510 choices out there. you're wasting money and will kick yourself later.
Depends a lot on the vape quality of the device. But I use a different vape everyday and I love that I can mix and match attys and mods. In general no I would not.
My first PV was a Halo Triton and their connection is proprietary. Of course, it's limiting (can't use different tanks, batteries, etc.), but it's not that bad and actually a pretty good beginner setup.
Unless the vaping device has Apple/Mac logo on it,....heck no...with Apple, at least I know there will be plenty of after market devices/connectors...
with propriety E-cigs..if the company goes belly up, you're screwed and also you pay what they want..not worth it...

No, I wouldn't. Not the way legislation around the country is going. I may not be able to get parts depending on what happens country-wide or in my State.
Hell no! 
Unless if was a rebuildable atomizer of proven pedigree and there was a "get out" in the event of disaster.
In relation to standard e-cigs or basic "brand" mods, NO. 100% NO.
In relation to Joyetech (for example)... "eat my shorts". I'm not falling for that.

Except that Halo, Bloog and V4L use the exact same connections. So does any 808/vGo device on the market. MadVapes, Smoktek and NHaler sell generic models of the same thing. Also, V4L had automatic spinners nearly a year before S.I. did.
Except Halo is an 808 device. Generic, just not as common as the 510 devices.
The Go-Go is proprietary, since the adapters are impossible to find anymore. So is the eRoll. And hybrids. I'm not sure if another truly proprietary device exists outside of those cattegories. And I owned an eRoll. It was a great little device.
