Unhappy Boro lentil bead question

Hello, I've seen some people make boro lentil beads and last night I made my first. (I've never used any of my bead presses with boro before) Everything seemed to be going fine until I openned my kiln this morning and they were all broken. I'm not sure why this would have happened. One thing I did notice is that the color combination I was using (Onxy background, Carimel Luster and Silver Strike 5 frit, encased in clear) seemed to shock easily even when I was making normal round beads. Can different colors, even if they are all the same COE, cool at different rates? Any insight into this would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks,
Barbie

PS: It must be something other than the press because almost all the round bead using that same color combination broke.
