The heat shouldn't create any condensation...

Unless you had the AC compressor running.

I'm leaning for the square ones, but would like some input. Thanks.
Should look into these

Twice as much but are much nicer and way brighter. He is a vender on here and may be able to go lower than that

Ok tell me this,

88 4.0 xj converted to 134a. I read the capacity is 19-22ozs. I put in about 22oz using the small 12oz cans and the actual a gauge set. The psi pressure does not get above 30psi with that amount of refirgerent in the system. The ambient temp is about 85-90. Iv read the low pressure side should be around 45-55psi. My ac is now blowing ice cold and compressor is funtioning properly. Do i add more refrigerent to raise the pressure or what?

I use $4000 machines at work to charge ac systems....... the little cans "work" but not well. If its blowing cold run with it.

Right. Vacuum has to be pulled on the whole system to charge it.
