When I add refrigerant to my Vanagon's AC, I set the can in a tupperware
bowl of hot water while it's hooked up to the system. Speeds things up
dramatically.

Larry,

Did it take a very long time to add the refrigerant to the system?  When I
do my obligatory 1 to 2 cans in the summer it takes about 30 minutes for a
can and then the A/C just blows cool, not cold air.  I think it's my A/C
system.  Perhaps a blockage.  What do you think?
