Getting What You Pay For

Did you do this or is this a copy from another site?
Liquid Fire is pretty much just a bottle of sulfuric acid...that 'smoke' was the acid doing its job....good thing you didn't breath it. There is a valid reason they say use it sparingly....
Your snake is probably going to rust now.....among other things. Hopefully you didn't etch the porcelain........the 'smoke' can discolor just about everything it touches as well.
Baking soda can work to un-**** up any bad that happens....to a point.
Happy plumbing!

Now your truck and your plumbing is smoking out the neighborhood... Ironic to a point.
I'd be flushing that pipe a TON. Any of that acid left in the pipe will likely eat a hole somewhere. Get a 5 gallon bucket and pour it down the toilet about 5 times in a row. It will self-flush as you pour.
The product sure does work though. I've used it myself when I get really stubborn clogs.
NOTE: Running this on top of Draino will cause REAL problems, health and plumbing related. The two producs DO NOT MIX. Draino is a strong caustic, Liquid Fire is a strong acid. Mixing the two will cause a STRONG chemical reaction, up to and including exploding your plumbing and/or a cloud of gas that can cause you to have to abandon the home. Use this stuff with care!

The other thing to be scared of here with this stuff is if you use it and it doesn't work. Yer jacked. No plumber out there will touch that clog once you let them know you used this stuff and if you don't tell them they will sure as hell find out for themselves once they get busy. And that's assumin that you let it it air out long enough before you call them that you can even still go in the room. It's an all or nothin proposition.
Sulfuric acid and arsenic were the main ingredients we used to use in my old metal plating days to strip parts in prep for plating.
