I think about this shit too much, and thought I'd share.
I believe we all form throat skills as vaporists, and that there is probably a considerable physical component, almost like a callous that forms to help desensitize the tickle in our throat
But there is also a point where we reach the ability to transmute the physical sensations, not like a real Synesthete, where we feel numbers or colors, but at least a dissociative experiene where the sensation and possibly pain are changed into something else momentarily
I think arguably our throat skills are the main skills that helps us vaporize, other than acquired knowledge
0. Neutral Throat
Position Zero - there is no compression, and your lungs are holding in the vapor, the throat is completely open. this is the desired position, as it exerts the least amount of pressure on the lungs and tissues. it's old-school common knowledge to hold in your hits without closing your throat, but not always easy to do for the duration of a hit.
1. the Flapper Lid
this is like the flap on top a diesel rig, it's not trying to keep anything in, just a light lid to separate the vapor in the lungs from the throat tissues, but all the vapor is held in by lung control
this feels like it's low in the throat
2. the Goiter Lock
this is where the throat muscles form a more or less solid constriction, where nothing's allowed to pass from above or below a three inch section of the throat
handy when you've over-inhaled and the vapor is slightly compressed in the lungs, or, to totally suppress the cough mechanism once activated
3. Sensitivity Management, or replacing one sensation with another,
This is the peak of throat control techniques, it goes to the inner reaches of our mind, and replaces the sensation we are experiencing in our throats with another
it helps to be vaped when you do this, in fact, maybe it's all in our heads and we have to be vaped to "believe" we're doing this, hahaha
Face it, with a big potent hit in our lungs, our brains can seem like their screaming from the experience, and a little concentration may be needed to quell the urge to cough it all out before we're done with it.
this may also boil down to putting up with one sensation if we believe it suits our greater purpose, like a dog chewing it's own leg off
but nevertheless it seems that when i am experiencing strong sensitivity in my throat during a hit, I am able to imagine it somewhere else and sometimes I imagine it's "blue" and it helps put it off.
Side Techniques: The Hold and Wiggle
When a cough could not be stymied, it can still be held in, and in holding in a cough, one will either experience it in a negative way, as in something that must be done and is very unpleasureable, or it can be something you get on top of...and enjoy because it gets you higher.
By forming a Goiter Lock you prevent any gas from escaping, and effectively lock in the cough. By concentrating on the activity you can focus on the sensations of the drug taking effect, and it forms a kind of "wiggle" as opposed to a pounding. Then each heave of the lungs becomes a small jolt of pleasure.

how does this compare with your experience?
I acccept the idea that there may only be a physical component, like a callous, and the rest is just coping mechanisms after that callous forms, but it seems so real while i'm thinking it

Synesthesia (also spelled synsthesia or synaesthesia, plural synesthesiae or synaesthesiae), from the ancient Greek ??? (syn), "together," and ???????? (aisth?sis), "sensation," is a neurologically-based condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.[1][2][3][4] People who report such experiences are known as synesthetes.
