Very good. The more you don't have success, as long as you keep trying, and learn something each time the better you will be at cloning in the end because you will understand the reasons why this or that makes a difference.
If you could add a little more detail describing "died" and I'm sure we may be able to help. If the environment is perfect sniping the fan leaves off will slow the time it takes the cuttings to root but won't make them die suddenly.
There is another factor or two that may need a little adjustment to have better success.
Good job trying again. Keep us posted. Oh and taking clones will never hurt your yield if you do it right it will only increase it ....may need a couple extra days of veg but larger yield all the same.
