I did not use it because I do not have enough knowledge to know I'm finding the right tube. Is it possible you used something that does not lead to all cylinders? I have read that's a possibility, but I know about as much about engine parts as I do mascara.

supposed to let it sit for 20 minutes,crank it up and drive it hard.
If you ran a can of seafoam in that car IT WILL SMOKE IT'S arse OFF
Gotta make it past the catalytic converter first.

If you let it suck in too much at once it will kill the engine. Gotta do it slowly.

I used the spray with the adaptor. My 07 smoked nicely. My Optimax laughed.

The real question is why the OP is Seafoaming his engine in the first place.
There has to be some issue.

Did the same on my old truck (2004 Ram with 5.7 V8) and got no smoke. It's not unusual to not get smoke...guess it means your engine is fairly clean.

I have yet to see one internal combustion engine not produce smoke when properly seafoaming.
You have to get the engine almost to the point of dying while introducing the seafoam to it then actually make the seafoam kill the engine at the end.
I promise you it will smoke when you crank it up and drive it after 20 minutes.

I run seafoam in the gas tank, but I'm not abotu to start running it through the crankcase / pcv

I put 1/3 a can of it in my oil right before last oil change.

I fed it through the right tube.
It was the hose that feeds to the manifold.
Minimal smoke from a third of a can. I did it by myself and think that not getting the rpm to 2500 may have had something to do with it.

Did you stop and let things sit for a while before starting again? That's when my truck really smoked.

Just don't run it more than about 100 miles.
