Abstract: The invention herein provides devices, e.g., non-electronic, non-heating, or both non-electronic and non-heating, devices for delivering volatile compound(s) to the mouth. In aspects devices comprise first and second components releasably held together by a selectively releasable attachment mechanism, such that the first and second components can be completely disengaged from one another. In aspects, devices further comprise an adjustable airflow control mechanism controlled by the rotation of the first and second components relative to one another. In aspects, rotation of the first and second components provides an audible, tactile, or audible and tactile indication of movement indicating a change in airflow control setting(s). Devices can further comprise one or more visual indicators indicating spatial orientation of one or more device components, the status of the airflow control setting(s), or both.

Abstract: Provided are devices for delivering volatile compound(s) to individuals. The delivery devices can be unpowered devices. The volatile compound(s) can be flavored. Delivery device can comprise engageable components releasably held together by a selectively releasable attachment mechanism. In aspects, the delivery devices further comprise an adjustable airflow control mechanism. In aspects, movement of delivery device components is associated with visual, audible, tactile, or audible and tactile indication of movement or position of device elements. In aspects, element(s) of a delivery device or a device in a system serve as a fidget movement element, being detectably moveable within a short period upon application of a small initiation force easily being returned to a position suitable for repeating the movement. Further provided are methods of using such delivery devices or systems for promoting user sensory experiences or for other beneficial effects, such as reducing habit-related behaviors or sensations.
