I got around to reading more about this, and it turns out duracool is illegal to use in the US.

Unacceptable Substitute Refrigerants | Alternatives / SNAP | US EPA

HOWEVER:

There is a very similar hydrocarbon based refrigerant, [HCR-188c] that has been developed by a Hawaiian man and has very recently been approved by the EPA.

Can't wait to get my [strike]hands[/strike] car on some of this stuff.
