Default EnviroSafe R12a

Anybody ever used this product?

This was copied from another forum:

IMPORTANT UPDATE: After finishing my A/C repairs, I too can now allow ppl to ride in my car without that ever-pestering, " JESUS dude, how do you stand it drivin' around like this?" After deciding on, ordering, and putting in the EnviroSafe ES-12a, my little 92 beautay! is blowin' COLD! I chose the ES-12a (from autorefrigerants.com) because of the larger molecules, and the fact that (they answered my e-mail question) and I didn't need to change anything, or prep anything, to recharge system to optimal performance. Same empty R-12 system, same O-rings, same R-12 fittings, 2 cans of 5 oz. each recharge, equal to 30 oz. of R-12....I tried, but was having trouble jumping clutch to test, but 2 sec. after 1st can started in, compressor kicked on, and system was cool. After 2nd can in, I think this trip is over. I'm curious, so may get accurate temp reading at vents, but it hurts my fingers on lowest fan speed in less than 15 sec., and ambient air temp is almost 80. This after hoping and finding on my own that only the clutch was out, but not the compressor itself. So I didn't pay for the almost $1000.00 quote to fix! This site and others were more than just instrumental in helping me find the parts, and do the repairs myself....to me they were necessary reading.

is this some over the counter r12, or substitute? i'm not sure i understand. it sounds like you had a leak in the system, and you didn't have enough refrigerant to kick you compressor on. more info?

well i just copied and pasted that paragraph from some other guys thread in another forum and i think its a substitute for r-12 its pretty cheap at $8 for 5 oz. which equals to 18 oz of regular r-12. i just wanted to know if anybody has ever used this refrigerant.
