So I was able to fix my sm750 and I was doing some range testing, after the shots I noticed that there was white smoke lingering in the barrel, I did several searches but found nothing. I tried other air guns and my at3k was doing the same thing. Is this smoke harmful or mean anything?

It's not smoke, it's water vapor. The rapid pressure changes converts some of the air into vapor.

Completely harmless. Im not sure what it is exactly, but my guess it that when the air is pressurized the other gasses in it are separating and one of those gasses is lingering behind.

The exact same thing happened to me with my at3k air tank. This only happens when it is highly humid and cold such as 40F, what conditions did this happen to you?

True dat.

You get much of the same from a big blast or even a at2k.... actually my roommate shoots it into his mouth and blows vapor rings as a party trick...

...suprisingly enough, the ladies are left fully clothed after that one.

VACC: Are you fucking retarded? Goodbye.

How's that for funny Timmytown?
It's like VACC was up early wishing me a happy birthday!

All the science behind it is discussed here. Of course, there is also a decent amount of namecalling and asshattery, but if you can sift though all of that, there is some useful information.
