Default R-12 Refrigerant replacement

Does anyone know of a drop in replacement for R-12 refrigerant? I didn't want to spend the money to retrofit for R-134. Thanks for your help

I have a friend of mine who bought R-12A which is a
direct replacement for R-12.
It supposedly takes less as the molecules are larger than
R-12.
I think when one buys a case of R-12A, the cost is like
$8 per can and you don't need a license.
