Those little fill gauge things they give you with the 134a cans never work right, unless you have a A/C manifold set its impossible to tell. How much did you put in after you evacuated the system? It should hold 2lbs or refridgerant. Also make sure the compressor is switching on when you try and fill it. If you evaucate the system but dont Vacuum it done a lot of times it'll have just enough pressure to keep the small cans from filling but not enough to close the pressure switch and allow the compressor to come on.
Side note: Was it not blowing cold before you tried to charge it? If so then you most likely have a leak somewhere. 9 times out of 10 if the ac isn;t blowing cold or at least cool the system is leaking.
