I woke up this morning and the TV was showing an episode of TOS, where the crew find a planet influenced by a book about the 1920s. Anyway, the point is that Spock was going around neck pinching a whole lot of people, as is was really convenient. It seems that in the series Spock did this an awful lot.
So... Tuvok did this neck pinch thing a whole lot less often. Anyone remember the last time he did so? I know he's done it, but so rarely I can't remember any specific instances. Poor guy...

He did it once in that ep. where the Hirogens are getting their butts kicked by holograms

And as for his last use of the thing, I think it would be during the episode where he was programmed by the strange Bajoran fellow.

Well, I forget the name, but Chuckles was caught in some time distortion thing, and *spoilers* may for someone possibly if you go further.
Anyhow he took Janeway (pre Delta Quad) and showed her the different fractured timelines on Voyager. In one, Tuvok was dying, he did the LLAP thing and died. That's the one time I remember most, cause it was on the other night.
End of spoilers.

I just asked my wife this question last night. I've never seen him do so, though I'm sure he has a few times. Obviously being the security officer, he probably has to feel more comfortable using his phaser than a Science Officer would.

How does the neck pinch incapacitate someone? is it like a sleeper hold? or is it some Vulcan psychic energy flow type thing.

It can't be a psychic thing. Data did it once. Though I suppose it's possible they use telepathy to find the exact spot to hit. That would explain why humans can't do it. Data could do it because he could find the right point w/ his supercomputer brain...

using psychic mind powers to find the spot to hit sounds pretty good to me. i remember the lead character in Spaceballs used a neck pinch on a gaurd. his name escapes me.
