Walmart had a really good price; however, I paid three times as much at O’Reilly’s for R134a with UV dye.

The second can was drained completely. It weighed 518g full and 192 empty so I got 326g of R134a out of it, (or about 11.5 oz).
I used a digital kitchen scale (that stayed on) to weigh it. I have some calibration dead weights but I didn’t check its calibration.

The addition of UV dye dramatically increases the price of R134a.

It's surprising that your empty can is double the weight of the predicted weight of my SuperTech can. I saw Murray and Chemours brands of R134a with UV dye at my local O'Reilly. Did you buy one of them?

I have 1 can of Mobile A/C R134a with UV dye. The full can only weighs 434 grams.
