I believe Maul has choked before, in Shadow Hunter. Whether or not it's as strong as Vader's or Dooku's is a silly question, since none of them can be reasonably measured or compared.

Choking doesn't have a measurement like Lightning, since it just closes the esophagus, cutting off circulation to the lungs. But then again, this can be argued by how much it closes, since Vader held [motti?] in that choke for a minute and he didn't die, but he killed others faster with the same power.

I suspect you mean the trachea. The oesophagus is the channel leading to the stomach - not the lungs. Like the oesophagus, the trachea starts at the back of the mouth cavity near the base of the tongue and is closed during swallowing by the epiglottis.

In order to choke someone it is more effective if the trachea is closed by pressing on the soft area between the base of the larynx and the junction of clavicle and sternum. The oesophagus is too far back to be affected by a conventional choke-hold (force or otherwise) without first crushing the larynx completely...
