Added benefit, you can read in bed w/o a light.
Added drawback, your wife complains your glow keeps her awake.

understood. i wasnt criticizing you at all, just adding to the
conversation.

trouble with 22 is the pressure required to get it above freezing. the
higher pressures required overload compressors designed for 12. in what
concentrations were you mixing it? i know its common in particular blends,
i just dont like it.


> By the way, when you coming back home?

to NC? quite possibly next month. i purchased a second home on wheels (
http://utilityoffroad.com/forum/topi...TOPIC_ID=12658 raptor 3612) and
start travelling around the middle or end of june. im not yet sure where im
going, i just want to get away and travel some. whats going on?

not really the point in my response. i was simply making the point that
there _are_ alternatives that arent "stupid" at all and in fact will offer
better cooling than either while coming in much cheaper than 12. r414b is a
beautiful refrigerant that i purchase for well below $200 for 30#. r416a
(while not intended for use in automotive applications) is another one that
works great. the only reason 134a is so common is because it became the
standard before others existed and it too will be phased out.
