A diffuser that may receive a refill bottle that supplies fragrance to the diffuser is provided. The diffuser includes a seat to facilitate easy placement and alignment of the refill bottle in the diffuser. The diffuser has an arm that can rotate about a pivot axis. The arm may rotate away from the seat to allow the user to place the refill bottle into the seat of the diffuser. The arm may also rotate towards the seat such that the arm can be placed over the refill bottle. The arm contains a piezo-electric component that can atomize the fragrance supplied by the refill bottle. The arm also includes a plurality of springs to create sufficient contact between the piezo and the refill bottle, to apply a downward force on the refill bottle, and to engage with a lock to secure the arm over the refill bottle.

A device for variable volatilization of a compound includes first and second heating elements that cooperate to form a heating chamber and each having a movement enabling structure; the movement enabling structures being configured to allow movement of the first and second heating elements relative to one another; an adjustment mechanism cooperating with the movement enabling structures to produce selective relative movement of the first and second heating elements; and wherein movement of the adjustment mechanism in a first direction results in relative movement of the heating elements away from one another and movement in a second direction produces relative movement of the heating elements toward one another resulting in adjustment of the amount of heat within the heating chamber. Methods of adjusting the amount of heat within a heating chamber are also disclosed.
