Hi Kreso,

What kind of coil do you have?  What capacitance and voltage rating 
capacitor do you really need?

I know your were interested in getting Geek group caps at first.  I think 
you want to run your coil for like an hour a day.  If you give us more 
information, we can help you get a cap that will not fail.

I know you want the Maxwell caps, but your first Maxwell cap should not 
have failed really...  Be sure you don't have a spark gap directly across 
them.  That will certainly kill them!!  I think you should get at least one 
cheap MMC cap just to have around to use when all the other caps are not 
working.

Maybe we could send you an MMC that you could "try" to break ;-))

Cheers,

         Terry
