It should be noted that if weather is mild, that will make the car fill slower. You can also put the can in a bucket of hot or warm water to speed things up.

edit: 110 sounds high for low side pressure. This sounds stupid but are you sure that the fill valve is not stuck? I have had that happen before.
After a while when the engine is off the low and high sides equal each other.
