I use the Sensate device, which sends vibrations through your chest. It’s very soothing. I wrote about it in one of my recovery tools posts. But I also saw this in YT recently:

I heard about stimulation through vibration before I knew there was also electrical stimulation. I'm not too keen on trying electrical because I have electromagnetic sensitivity (although this might be getting better).

I use the stress releaZer by Beurer. It works like the Sensate but it's way cheaper. It combines resonant breathing with vibration, relaxing music and binaural waves. I find it really helps me relax, and it helped my breathing a lot at a time where it was still very uneasy. I use it before I lay down to rest and before sleep.

I also have another device which can be used to stimulate the vagus nerve through vibration by putting it in the cymba conchae. I was told once that it makes sense to stimulate the vagus at different places, because you never know where it is most dysfunctional.
