i barely got any smoke out of mine also. i added to the brake booster vaccum line. i added about 1/4 of the can.
anyone know if the white smoke that comes out is any more environmentally unfriendly than regular exhaust?

The upside of pouring it into the intake basically until the engine stalls is that you're letting it sit on the valves, pistons and cylinder walls in a very high concentration compared to dumping a pint into 15 gallons of gas.
Run 1/2 of a can directly into the intake with the engine idling, kill the engine, pour the rest into the crankcase, and let everything sit for a few hours.
The net effect is much like soaking a rusty part in PB Blaster for an hour versus spraying and re-spraying it over the course of a day.

I disconnected the end on the valve cover, so I was putting it into the intake. I pinched the hose enough to keep the truck running, then SLOWLY poured the seafoam into the hose. I poured just enough that the truck would stay running, but not enough to bog it down or stall it out. I did 1/4 can twice, letting it sit 45min-1 hour between, and the other half the can in the crankcase. I wonder if I was too slow getting around to shut the truck off, and there wasn't any "sitting" in the engine for the wait time.
Does seem to run a bit smoother now. No significant effect on gas mileage. I will definitely be doing it regularly in both my cars.

I would not recommend using the breather technique. It leaves an oily vapor all over the engine bay, your truck will smell like burnt oil and it is a detriment to air quality.
