assuming youre talking about AC recharging, you should not mix refrigerants. if you have R22, and you want to convert to R132a, you should completely discharge your old system before adding the new refrigerant. it is illegal to discharge your system yourself, because R22 is very harmful to the environment. you should take it to an AC repair shop so that they can recapture and recycle the old stuff. then you can take it home and charge it yourself with a simple conversion kit.

Is freon gas flammable?
"Freon" is a trademark name of DuPont for a series of HFC and CFC refrigerants which they manufactured - other companies manufactured and continue to manufacture the same refrigerants, but cannot use the name Freon for their product. Some of the refrigerants marketed under the name Freon are flammable, and some are not. The CFC refrigerants will almost certainly be flammable - the HFC refrigerants may or may not be.
