You're obviously rather new to coiling. Check out The Geek Group :) we sell 
capacitors specificly designed to survive in coiling duty. Check out our 
website at www.thegeekgroup-dot-org for details, inside you'll find everything 
you need to build a capacitor for your coil that will last you years.

Otherwise, tell your friend you need a 25kV cap, rated according to the 
amerage on your NST (you didn't say what it was and the cap size matches to 
it). Since you're in your early days in coiling you'll probably overvolt it 
(I killed several NSTs before I learned the finer points of safety 
gaps...got KILLER arcs though, lol) at least once or twice. When you do, 
your $150 pulse cap just became a boat anchor. Geek Group caps are 
impervious to this and actually heal themselves!
