Default Problems recharging A/C

Hi all. This past weekend, I bought a recharging kit for the A/C. I hooked up the can and the hoses to the low-side. What bugs me is that no freon went into the system. The can remained full. So after a while, I kind of forced the freon into the low side. My compressor made this weird noise, like the sound of a blow of valve and freon came out of the underside of the car. I think from the compressor area.

I still have little cold air. Have you guys had similar problems? Can you please share your experiences or comments? Do I have to take the car to a shop and have them use the machines there?

Thanks.

Low refrigerant is not the only reason that A/C stops working. If your knowledge of A/C involves pushing the button in the car and turning the temp. **** down, no offense meant but you should probably take your car to a professional. When you nuke your compressor from overcharging the system you will wish you' had spent the $100 to get it diagnosed correctly.

I think there are a number of people here that don't have a clue about that.
