second coil

YESSS! I aquired a NST yesterday! it cost me $25 from a sign shop in St. Joesph, MO. It is a 15/30. I also liberated a couple of pieces of 4" green PVC pipe by the road. Should make for a pretty typical coil.
If I use #28 wire, about how many inches of windings will i want on that 4" PVC? i will be using a flat primary (maybe conical) and a RQ-style gap, safety gap, and chokes.
about the chokes-- i have two leftovers from my old setup, about 6 inches of winds on 1/2in pvc, i want to say about 26-28 gauge. Are these sufficent chokes to protect my neon transformer?
I plan to build a beer bottle cap for it, how many beer bottles will I need? I think they will need to be in sets of two for a 15Kv source, is this correct?
Any other suggestions for this coil would be appreciated. It will be a pretty typical coil setup so I believe other people have probably done this. Thanks in advance for any advice!
