You have to learn your R's. The compressor has to be able to produce enough pressure for the gas in question, the capillary tube needs to be have a length/ diameter appropriate for your gas's viscosity and pressure drop. The system has to be charged with an amount specific to your system.
Without that specific knowledge,

:shrug: The only workable substitution I know of is R134 for R22, which involves a slight performance hit.
