Basically... when you toke regularly the smoke doesn't all go straight to your lungs. It kind of takes its time getting there... so a bunch of smoke ends up just chillin out in your pipe. When you release the carb, it rushes air quickly through the pipe, moving all the smoke into your lungs. You can't effectively get the bud to burn with the carb uncovered, and you can't get all the smoke out of the pipe with the carb covered, so you use a combination of the two. You can shotgun a hit if you take a long hearty hit, then when you release the carb, pull super hard. The smoke will shoot into your lungs and incredible speed, and much coughing will ensue.
