There are better, and safer alternatives. Propane is just not a smart choice, any way you look at it.

Wrong.
I have emptied systems and went right ahead and brazed things on the same system.Propane is NOT as flammble as you think,you can go ahead and think what you want.But until you actually try using it,you can't comment.Although it does smell bad
I talked to punisher after he soldered his while it was full of propane(not something you usually want to do) and it just made a fireball....Big deal.
Oh by the way he got banned from here,thats why you havent heard from him
R290 is a safe refrigerant if you know what your doing.Even if it had a slow leak over night and you turned your light switch on,what do you think would happen?Nothing,thats what would happen.
I have had my room full of propane,smells horrible,but I didnt get some crazy out of control fire.
They make alot of propane based refrigerants too.Propane makes fire if introduced to flame,freon makes a poisenous gas.
So dont go around using your torch on a full system
