No, I haven't. But maybe that's because I still have a 30 lb cylinder of R12 in my shop. Kkkkkkk

Be aware. Consider the source.
Counterfeit "Arctic Air" products for R12 systems are a significant concern, as the genuine Enviro-Safe product is a hydrocarbon blend (typically propane and butane) designed as a high-efficiency alternative to R12, while fakes may be mislabeled, contain incorrect refrigerant blends, or be non-compliant with safety standards.

• Legitimate Product Composition: Authentic Enviro-Safe Arctic Air for R12 is a combination of two products in one can: a drying agent to remove moisture and a friction reducer to lower system temperatures, compatible with mineral, ester, or PAG oils.
• Legal and Safety Risks: The genuine product is flammable, and while it is sold legally in many states, it is illegal to use directly in an R12 system in the USA without a proper conversion to R134a fittings and oil change, as noted by forum discussions; counterfeit versions may lack these specific safety warnings or proper labeling.
• Identification Issues: Counterfeits may fail to provide the claimed 50% refrigerant usage or the specific cooling performance of the hydrocarbon blend, and may not include the required R134a top on the can, leading to improper installation.

Users should verify the source, as fake products may not adhere to the environmental or performance claims made by Enviro-Safe, potentially causing system damage or safety hazards due to incorrect chemical composition

I see original nos mopar r12 pop up for sale from time to time, if that helps anyone. I’ve saw it on eBay and forabodies from time to time. It wasn’t priced to bad actually.

If you can afford (real R12) buy it and save it. R12 was pull not because it was hurting the O zine. Any one that had a/c class in the late 70's early 80' would know why. Because of the green ghost.
