this is what an electrical arc looks like 500,000 volt electrical arc - YouTube
this arc is much larger (i hope) than your mod would produce but you get the idea.

Oh haha no I didn't see anything crazy like that. I just heard the coil leg pop. I had both legs in their respective posts, and tried to screw the positive side. The negative post wasn't screwed in yet

hot legs are an issue with micro coils, if you have long legs and they made contact when you hit the button that would cause a short.

when i build coils sometimes i leave the legs a bit long and well they dont touch before i hit the button that bit of heat is enough to cause them to deform and touch. (had this happen once)
