So ive heard from a few sources that you can clone without rooting hormone, using straight water and also willow tree extract and aspirin. Just wanted to know if there is any truth to these options

I've used non pasteurized honey. Worked. Was it the honey or just the wet jiffy cube, who knows. I have seen people just stick them in water like my wife does with her houseplants.

yes, there is truth to that... these are weeds, and they will try to survive even the worst conditions.
The best cloning method I have ever used just involved water ... no aspirin, willow bark or anything else. I will provide the link for you to check out... I get 98% success rate with this bubble cloner :
10 Minute DIY Tupperware Bubble Cloner
I have made several of these over the years, and I am pretty sure I remember giving my last one away. Today I had a need to reliably produce a large number of clones, and the easiest and most reliable method I have found is the bubble cloner. After finding the suitable plastic tub to destroy...

No 1 thing to get roots is heat. Clones will die without the water and humidity but will take forever without constant heat. Just from my personal experience

So if u did the bubble cloner method, would it be worth it to put the bubble cloner on heat mat or would it make it to warm and nasty things would start growing?

i never heated the thing and i am afraid that it might promote other growth, nasty things as you said. I found that the roots would start coming in very quickly without doing anything extra, and once I started seeing root nodules forming, putting a couple of drops of calmag in the water seemed to make the roots leap out of that stem.

depends on your environment. Winter down here, you ain't never gonna get rooting in a 10 degree shed. I don't need to heat anything in summer. but horses for courses. I find 28 degrees and H202 optimal to get rooting in 4-5 days. Anything lower for me seems to take longer

Couldn't resist chipping in. 
Here outdoors in the Mediterranean, I just trim 'em off the plant, strip the stem a little to encourage root growth, pop 'em in water, into the cold frame (which is good and humid) and within a week or so, I'm potting up a cutting with roots.

Cut your clone, scrape the bottom, take a aloe vera leaf and just push the clone into the aloe gel and coat it and put into your cloner.
N works killer every time
