Rob,
It depends on the capacitor. The ones intended for high RF
currents are marked to show the maximum reactive current
they can handle. Some time ago I had the same experience
as you, with a cap literary exploding. Now I use only caps
that are spec'd for high RF current. I have had no trouble
wiht those.
