Using a seedling heat mat might up your success rate. Other than that, you might try making a 'clone machine'. Hydro stores carry the neoprene collars, net pots, pumps, and sprayers. You'd just need to pick up a rubbermaid bin or bucket, some pvc, and set aside a couple hours.
You should also make certain that you're handling the process well. Remember, cloning is like surgery on a plant, you have to be precise! Using a sterile blade is important, and the right angle can make a lot of difference as well. Hope that helps.
