awesome. Thanks for the replies.

Well thats the first time I saw the cherry phrase used with this plant.  

I'm really interested in the smoking technique right now. Deep slow breaths or a quick huff, along with letting the material heat for like 2 seconds before inhaling.

It's awesome that you had a great experience. Salvia has given me only good experiences so far as well.

lol @ the new strain  

Well to make a new strain, u need to make them flower, then take a paint brush and rub it on the the flower of one plant, then rub it on another flower of another strain. Basically you move the pollen manually. Then ask them nicely to go to seed, and try to grow one of the seeds. If that seed grows, thats your new strain right there~

The active ingredient is the same in all, different concentrations in different strains. If im correct, there is also salvorin-b and c, which in differing concentrations(aka different strains) could affect the experience.

So did u repot them right away? And did they come in humidity chambers? From the first pic I would say that the bottles filtered the light for the plants.

I found this:

Branches Dying: If a plant appears to be dying from the tips of a branch, shedding leaves, with the branch turning brown and eventually dying off, this is not necessarily as serious as it first may seem. It could do this at the summer's end, or just anytime. A good example would be where the growth of leaf on other branches nearer the light source had the effect of blocking out light to lower / further back branches and leaves. In a case such as this, the plant may decide that the game isn't worth the candle and effectively close down operations and redirect it's resource to producing shoots and leaves elsewhere.

Having said that, if this doesn't ring true in your case, if more branches keep dying and your plant does not appear to be making any progress (i.e. when you would expect it to be growing), then it could be that the plant is otherwise unhappy. It may need re-potting. It may be too dry. Check the rest of the plant care advice to see if its over all circumstances could be improved.

Unknown factors? Lets try to track them down. I would cut the dead part off, but I really don't know.

The leaves just fell off? Also, did u repot the plants? I lost my first plant to root rot+sunburn.

awesome, maybe you can cross pollinate and raise one from seed. Which one do u like the best, and how did u come across them?

post more pix

also NO direct sunlight! Seriously, as much indirect as you can spare, but no direct. Wait at least 2 weeks before replanting them.

what about powdering the leaf so you can fit more in the pipe?
