When vapor refrigerant is pulled out of a cylinder the vapor is reduced and the liquid boils to replace the vapor that has left the cylinder.

Lighter, as the refrigerant is boiled off, and colder, as it has absorbed heat, and has a lesser pressure to reflect the current temperature / pressure relationship for the type of refrigerant

The refrigerant cylinder is heated in a tub of water to no more than 90 degrees F. Electric heating blankets manufactured for this purpose may also be used.
Vaporizing the refrigerant
The gauge line is secured when the refrigerant cylinder is on the scale while transferring refrigerant to prevent the refrigerant from leaking out. If the refrigerant were to leak out, it would cause the scale to become inaccurate, and it would also be a safety hazard.
Vaporizing the Refrigerant
It means charging the A/C system with the proper kind and amount of refrigerant + oil. Overcharging the system will damage the compressor.
