yes, that is correct. the instructions actually say not to pull a vacuum on the system and I confirmed this with the seller before attempting the recharge. You're also correct that I wasn't monitoring the high side; I didn't think it would be necessary in this case.
I wasn't running any kind of fans. I'm assuming the front fan condenser is working, but to be honest I didn't verify. the cloud came from the engine bay. I have no idea where the gas escaped from, and after it had stopped/dissipated (which was only a few seconds after the loud pop), everything looked fine. I thought it might have been the charging hose, but that looked ok too.
