Default gumout carb + choke cleaner?

Hey guys I had some gumout car+ choke cleaner. I was having trouble starting and I was told that this would help if I sprayed it in the throttle body.

Anyway I was spraying it in there and it seemed like the car was about to stall but it was okay. I played with the throttle cable a bit to work it and then i let the car idle for acouple minutes. After a while an unusual amount of smoke was coming out of the exhaust. It was pretty thick similar to the video when the guy used seafoam on his car. I was wondering if this is normal when using this product and if it's messing something up?

Does anyone know how much of the gum out i should use? I purchased a big spray can. it's probably the same size as one of those aerosol air fresheners for when you take a dump. Oh yeah and is there a proper way that I should be doing it? Because i only sprayed it a couple sprays since I didn't know how much I needed. There was a write-up in some nissan forum and the guy was talking about he used the entire can, but.... that seems overboard.
