I hope u guys arent telling me something that will blow this thing up in my face

I just sold an Absolute 1.5 Farad cap I had in my now dead and long gone truck...I had purchased a 1K ohm resistor to charge and discharge it...using it to discharge, no spark, no excitement...discharged in about 3 to 5 seconds. I know, I know, BORING. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/boring.gif.42c69fa49b1e73e6332d62b462a2a4b3.gif

Without it, you are selling the kid what may effectively be a very fun firework. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/lightning.gif.3313d59263b518d6d89ddcbfead237d0.gif
