you can get propane without any oil(gas grill cans, blowtorch cans). Generally all systems use mineral oil, unless it is a r134a system. I would say just use it since propane and ester oil should work fine, but since u lost alot of oil, it may be best to
A) add some ester oil, then fill with propane
B) flush the whole thing thoroughly, add mineral oil, fill with propane.
As for it exploding, the threat would be a leak, and a potential short in the electrical system...
keep in mind I am not a refrigerant expert. I myself am working on building a phase change system for my computer, and I know only from what I have read about phase change systems(ive read alot though).
