My friend and I bought an mflb in January, and we've both noticed that occasionally when using it we will experience a tickling sensation in the front of our throats, as though small particles are being inhaled. We're not sure if this is our own fault, a defect in the mflb or what. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

I really doubt it's any particulate getting through. The drying sensation from the warm vapor is probably what causes it, I know the exact feeling. Drink water it helps after a dry tickle
Right, thanks.
I've been a long time combuster and only recent vaper, and i can say that i get the same feeling with vaping as well. and it's mostly at the higher temps (browned) that leaves your throat with that feeling, that makes you swallow a bunch. ever since i connected through a bong/water, it changed the game
Do you have a really fine grind? Sometimes this seems to happen to me when I grind with a coin and draw really fast. Any air that you draw goes through the trench screen so unless tiny particles are permeating the trench I can't think of why this would happen. Sometimes I think this is happening but I'm just imagining it because I'm high and am responding to the "tickling sensation" you describe that may be just the warm vapor." [3]
Our grind is decently fine, not great but gets the job done. It seems to happen more when we have a finer grind though.
vapor is hot and dry and will irritate your throat, especially if direct inhaling. try drawing into your mouth, then inhaling, and/or use a secondary collection device like a third lung, or optimally a bubbler.
That's what we thought it might be.
