I'd suggest jumping the compressor clutch to +12 volts and see what your pressures do. If the low side goes into a vacuum add more. It could be the low side switch needs to be 'tickled' into action. Seen it before...
It is very possible (and industry standard practice) to charge as a liquid. It must absorb heat to vaporize, and this heat will be easily given up when it condenses.

When you charge as a gas, you are absorbing heat in your can and that heat must be released into the system, thus it takes a long time, or a compressor.

Charging as a liquid does not need any help from the compressor at all. It's possible. I just did it. Most professionals do it every day.
