How did you do it? Did you do it like this?

With engine warm, slowly pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint through carburetor or throttle body throat. (If vehicle is port injected slowly pour SEA FOAM through direct manifold vacuum line that will feed all cylinders, possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line.) This will pull SEA FOAM down on top of the pistons and to the back of the intake valves to dissolve carbon. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. If severe carbon build up is apparent, use more Sea Foam as previously directed. Make sure exhaust is well ventilated when using Sea Foam in these various ways as fumes will be extreme for a short time.

From the SeaFoam Site; http://www.seafoamsales.com/motorTuneUpTechGas.htm

If you pulled it directly into the intake through a large vacuum line like the brake booster line, it will usually smoke up. If you don't pull in a high concentration, it won't smoke at all.
