If you have trouble with cuttings wilting a product called Vitagrow Antiwilt makes a fantastic dip additive. When taking cuttings I will use a jar of antiwilt solution as a dip, clean up the cutting, dip it in the antiwilt then stick it in the clonex and then into the rapid rooter.
Personally I like to pre-poke the rapid rooter plugs so the cutting slides down in there snug. Don't want it sticking out the bottom tho.
I have never been all super sterile or anything either and it's rare that a cutting doesn't root. These rapid rooters were a game changer for me back in the day. I used to have a dude back in Missouri that would buy 100 well rooted cuts for 2k every couple months for his grow and I rarely had to pull a cutting from one of my trays to fill his order, if I stuck 100 I rooted 100.
I had a 2x4 flood and drain tray with a dome. You could put 4 rapid rooter trays in there. I would set the flood depth to about an inch a few times a day, put the rapid rooter tray inserts with plugs in there. Had a 4 tray heat mat in there. It was totally automated since I was only at that house once a week or maybe twice. That tray had a 250 watt MH over it back in the day, probably about 30 inches away. If I needed more cuts thats what I would set back up.
