build your own, or was it one of the premade ones?

If you built it yourself very possible you used underrated or 'cheap' components. Another common problem is unspeced wire.

did u make sure that you used the EA-ED one with 1.2 and 20ohm resistors and not the EF-> one that uses 5.6 and 18 ohm ones (also a different wiring layout)
