    Opinions on converting from R12 to R134?

    I would replace the thermal expansion valve. They are cheap and are supposed to be replaced any time the system is opened, although not every one does it.

    R134 on top of R12

    Has anyone ever mixed the two? My A/C is a little low, still cold but in the 50s at the vent, not as cold as it should be. I have a few cans of R12, but I don't want to waste a whole can if it only needs a couple of ounces, so I wonder if a small amount of 134 can be added on top of the R12...
