I guess mine get up to temps quite faster than yours then.
if i drive for 20 mins then yes it gets to temp but sitting there and idling for 20 mins will not get it up to 160F

No smoke on start up, only on full vacuum. I'm thinking it's intake valve seals as well, Megan.
have someone follow you and see if you are burning oil under load on the highway or something, if you are then i would check your intake tubes for oil if you dont have oil catch cans installed, if there is oil in your intakes than you might want to check your compression and see if you lost any(that would also explain your smoke because oil is being sprayed into your intakes via PCV valve) and if there isnt, you will want to check your engine out anyways since you might be leaking oil through a seal or something
