You could try contacting Envirosafe:

How efficient is ENVIRO-SAFE

My 190E was originally just charged with Freeze12, it eventually leaked out enough that the compressor would not engage. So all I did was open up a can into the a/c system until the gauge pressures were satisfactory. I didnt measure the weight that went in...

Not to muddy the waters anymore but I came across this stuff on the Enviro-Safe website:

It sounds interestesting but I've not seen much about it on forums and such.
