 No Slim, I can get pretty close, but I don't consider it good enough. 
The word to use is "took" and must be done while applying (and pulling 
away) from the mouthpiece VERY quickly just as one would kiss a canary 
or poisonous snake. an abrupt fast amount of power is needed and to be 
quite honest, that's something I never really worked on a lot. Maybe I 
should have given it more time but I never felt it was that necessary a 
technique. Now that I see there's an interest, I guess I made a 
boo-boo. Wouldn't be the first.
