Hi Tom , Ed, 

I, too, have noticed this effect. My smaller, NST driven coils 
really seemed to generate copious amounts of O3, while my 
big, pole pig driven coil seems to only produce a detectable 
O3 odor right after immidiately powering it up. After it has run 
for 30 secs. or so, there is little noticable O3 odor. When I ran 
my smallish, NST driven coils, the longer that I ran them, the 
worse that the O3 problem got. As a matter of fact, I've gotten 
myself quite sick from overexposing myself to the O3 produced 
by the smaller coils. It causes asthma-like wheezing w/ terrible 
coughing that makes your head feel like it's going to explode 
every time you do cough. And it takes 30 to 45 minutes to get 
over these symptoms, even after moving to fresh, uncontaminated 
air. I've never gotten "ozone-sick" from running my 10 ft. spark 
throwing, pig-driven coil. That's one reason I don't play much with 
smaller coils anymore.
