So, did some law change or something on R-414b, "Hotshot"? I bought a couple small can at the local refrigeration supply place last year and it was no big deal. This year, I get funny looks and "we don't carry that." Also, the smallest container I can find is 25 lbs. Used to be in the 10oz size, and fleaBay doesn't list a single can of the stuff. They go and change the rules again?

FWIW, Here is the "HotShot" manufacturer's website http://www.icorinternational.com/

DuPont says available only in Canada, * Retrofit of R-12 stationary applications (positive displacement compressors with direct expansion evaporators) * Not recommended for automotive air conditioning http://www2.dupont.com/Refrigerants/en_CA/products/r414b.html

Yeah, I've seen ICOR's site and dupont. I just wonder what changed since last year.
