It is very possible to get potent and/or smoky hits with a more minimal impact to the throat. Note, I say minimal. I'm a singer and this is a big issue for me.
One of the tricks is the "fish-lips" approach a cm or two away from the short stem. The main skill that took me months to figure out with the mflb and others is to pull only hard enough to pull off the vapor that is coming off the herb. Pulling more/harder does not work with vaping. It either cools off your heating element or it pounds your throat and lungs with heat. It seems to take us long time smokers a while to work this pulling thing out of our system. If fact, some of the most mind-blowing hits you can get off an mflb are basically invisible, which is still hard for me to wrap my mind around in practice.
There are some vapes such as the PAX or the Solo that require some pulling. MFLB is not one of them. That said, if you grind your stuff up sufficiently and pull steadily through the MFLB adapter and a bubbler, you can get enormous clouds without burning your throat or your herb.
