Sea Foam treatment on an N18. No smoke.

I did a Sea Foam treatment on my 2011 MCS yesterday. I followed the instructions in this video:

The only exception is that I used the whole bottle on the PCV. I performed the treatment 3 times, working in thirds.

Not a whiff of smoke on each treatment. Not during the pouring/suction of Sea Foam, not during restart, not during the spirited test drive.

Any ideas?

Didn't you read the last statement in the vid that he got no smoke after the treatment?

Personally I would have dump half the Seafoam in the pcv and the rest in the fuel tank then let it sit for 30 mins. or longer. Not sure why he put it in the oil especially since the engine wasn't running for it to circulate.
