Just adding r134 is a bad idea. First, if you have to add it periodically, you have a leak. You should find and fix that. Second, you need to get the air our of the system and make sure you know what's in there. That requires a vacuum pump. Third, if you are going to ignore the leak and just add anyway, at least splurg for $50 and buy a set of gauges at autozone so you can watch the pressures properly.
If you've been doing this for a while, God knows what you have in there for an oil/R/air mix. You should find the leak, fix it, replace the dryer, have it vacuumed and filled. If it's done right you will not have to add refigerent until it springs another leak (and all auto A/C systems do seem to do that eventually).
