Take it off the PV and gently blow from the drip tip end. Dab out the excess juice from the battery (sometimes, that's all that is really needed).
Also, if it continues to flood, you may be able to slide the tank up, if the carto sits higher than the tank. That way the juice doesn't feed into the holes. Vape for a few minutes, then slide the tank back down.

Buggs described a good method.
What Ive had success with, if the carto is not too flooded yet, is to remove the tank and remove any excess juice from the battery's connector, and blow any juice from the cartomizer into a paper towel as Buggs described.
Then I'll put the tank back on the battery. I'll then do some pre-burn puffs. I'll power on the battery for about 2 seconds to allow the excess juice vaporize in the carto, then vape it gently. I'll repeat this a few times until it is vaping the way I want it to. This method limits the amount of additional juice that will enter the carto while attempting to vaporize what is already in it.

Are you using pre punched or self punched? The reason I ask is self punched carts there is a learning curb to get the holes right for your vaping style.
Weather you need 1 2 or 3 holes just takes some trial and error. I use 2 holes my self. If your cart consistently floods ather you blow it out it could mean you've punctured or burnt a hole in the plastic center tube.

I just tried something to un-flood my tank and it worked great! Ok, so I unscrewed my tank off my ego, left it fully assembled with carto, drip tip, juice, everything and put the tank in between the palms of my hands and started rubbing my hands together really fast which in turn spins the tank forward and backward really fast kinda like a washing machine does. Well I think the centrifugal force expelled any liquid that was flooded in the center hole and pushed it outward back into the polyfill material. This was my theory as to what might remedy a flooded carto and it seems to have worked. My tank was really gurggley before I did this and after I spun the tank for about 10 seconds it hit clean as a whistle. You still may want to dab dry the bottom hole of the carto prior to spinning but so far I have done it twice on two seperate tanks and it worked. I got no more gurggley hits. The cartos were Boge single coil double punched and are used with my Boge F-16 tanks. Not sure if this will work with all cartos but give it a try, it worked for me 
Check the rubber o rings on your tank too. If they are damaged and air is getting in, it will cause the carto to flood.
