Basically I want to spawn a soda can at will that will become a prop_physics (so trigger_vphisics entity will act on it).

Env_shooter seems like the right tool, but can set it some the props don't disappear?

I would personally use a point_template (with an input of forcespawn). And have something trigger it over and over again to spawn its template. The nice thing about this is the props will never go away.

Or if you wanted to, you could use 2 different templates (each prop with a different name), then have them spawining over and over again, and something else triggering the destruction of the prop_physics (a timer that kills entities with a certain name)

I'll mark you as right, didn't think about the template.

[edit] ok here is the zingger, how can I make it spawn from a soda machine that moves around?

Well if its moving around then an env_shooter parented to the moving object would be your best choice. (if it can be done)
