Congrats on the first sparks! (regardless of length). It won't be long and
you'll
be hitting those 20" or 30" streamers. It may very well be your caps given
your
description. Sounds like your using quite a few. You may now want to go
after a
different cap type than the X2's.
Good luck with your future sparks!
