Electrolytic capacitors used to have no safety vent, just a flat top. I used to blow up them up for fun with a line cord, until mom figured out. |

I only fired 3-4 caps in 5 years. Last week I almost blew up 2 caps, 1 because I never checked it's voltage, the other I had backwards. Whenever I power up something after working on it, I expect it to explode in my face and blind me |
