When you operated the circuit without the sec coil in place the unloaded Q
of the circuit was extremely high which probably caused excessive potential
resonant rise in your primary circuit and blew your cap. The mechanical
equivalent of this would be placed a manual transmission vehicle in neutral
and then racing the engine. You need to always have a load connected in
the circuit, ie, the sec should be in place for all experiments. Use a
variac to control the power and do your tuning at 20-30% before running it
full power.
