Do you compensate for the refrigerant thats left in the hoses when you disconnect them after charging ?
If so, how much ?

It's a very small amount.

Could be as much as 2 oz.

Its usually between 1,5 - 2,5 oz in my 118 inch hoses, I use a servicestation so I recycle whats left in the hoses after charging and compensate with 1,75 oz when charging, anyone else who does it ?

Yes i usually do a ounce or two and suck high side out with low side after charging and before hose removal..
