Oh I have felt the difference several times between the two inhales over the past decade as a smoker.
On a normal inhale, I can feel the smoke going into my mouth as I suck the filter. And when I'm done dragging, I of course inhale the smoke that's in my mouth.
On a direct inhale, I don't feel the smoke "building up in my mouth" during the drag. Instead, I feel the smoke going directly down my throat.
And since that smoke goes directly down my throat, I can feel a buzz-like feeling when doing a direct inhale.
I remember my eyes watering when I first tried direct inhaling in my early 20s. I didn't cough my brains out though. I probably did cough once on a direct inhale, but I can confirm it was smoke I coughed out and not phelgm or blood.
