A very little coil

I picked up a 6kv -at- 1ma DC supply. I have built a small coil with a couple of
screws for the break. The discharge from the top terminal is about 1.5" and I
can draw sparks about 2" long with a screw driver. The discharge sparks are
very fine and must be viewed in subdued light.
Has anyone had experience at this power level...6w? Are these discharges about
right or can I do better. Will appreciate all comments.
