You could try to cut/pull off a pup or two from the moon cactus and graft them onto the pieces of Hylocereus cactus you have! It's pretty easy with a little patience and you have plenty of material to give it a try. Hylocereus is dragonfruit by the way and it likes more moisture than typical cacti. The reason the commercial growers cut off all the spines is because once you graft onto a cactus they will try to sprout new shoots from where the spines are. The new shoots would grow and take up energy that you want to go to the grafted cactus. Usually you shouldn't have to worry about the top of the graft dying unless the bottom stock is unhappy from environmental conditions or from being too old in which case you can regraft the top part. I wonder what happened to the top of your first one. Anyhow good growing and best of luck!
