hopefully that gets you going good. If you want, try a different approach on the cartomizer. Try putting on a new cartomizer, then drop 10 drops in it, let it sit for a couple minutes, then watch your atomizer connection as you sqonk. once juice just barely is visible at the catch cup/atty connection, let go. give a sharp draw without pushing the button. repeat this process once more. NOW, try and vape. count about 4 or 5 hits out, not baby hits... clouds... and then repeat process. and so on. I hope I helped 
Every carto I tried to clean out ended up like vaping a wet sponge afterwards. Every one, every time.
I'd have to agree that the taste did change after cleaning a carto. Now I just toss-em without even trying to clean. With the wife getting the REO mini today, and me working here through the curve, hopefully carto's are going to be used very little around here.
Just my.two cents but MadVapes has some of the worst.juice out there. Anyone who vapes it regularly hasn't tried any of the better vendors, or somebody took a dremel to their taste buds.
If you want some good US vendors with good prices you can PM me. I am going to make a sweet Reo video tomorrow showcasing the best cartos I have ever used on a Reo and why they are so good.
Thank God someone finally said it. I was wondering why I had wonderful clouds of vapor but still crappy flavoring. Sending PM now.
MV was my starter juice as well....only found 1 or 2 acceptable flavors, Candy cane and Minthol, now that I have tastebuds back I can't do either ..... their juices definately need to sit for a week or two to steep and some, there is no amount of steeping, don't get me wrong love MV, just not the juice...
Good news is I get to practice and get the bottle thing down with crappy juice and then I'm gonna get some AWESOME vapors when I hit the GOOD juice.
Better as far as amount of vapor, not flooding, and etc but still weak/nasty flavoring
Gonna have to second this... MV carries Dekang juices too, and those are fine, but their "house blends" are inconsistent, and not quite as yummy as I'd like. My daily-vape is the Dekang RY4, so I've no complaints. Otherwise, I might PM ya too..
Like karmakatie says, love MadVapes, but not the juice...
You don't have to go through the whole bottle. Empty it and try another flavor and carto. No sense in vaping something you don't care for.
Well, I'm gonna order early Wednesday morning so PM me too about good place to get sweet juices.
Watch the classifieds for some juice deals. I got lucky on 2 deals. Juices I read about and they were ones from many different vendors. Mostly sweet and different nic levels. Glad I did that, would have never ordered them on my own. Have any of them prompted me buy them, nope. But its all about opportunity.
I'm sorry to hear that your having that many problems with your REO. Hopefully I can add some info that might just help you out.
* Flooded carto: Some big signs that you've flooded your carto is that you will not get good (or barely any) vapor and TH. But, you will still get flavor. Other signs will included gurgling or that you get juice spitting back up at you. That's only in severe cases.
* Burning Carto: The flavor is completely different from when it was fresh. A big sign of this is that you are tasting a burnt flavor. However, sometimes it's hard since some flavors mask the taste you would normally get. So, it's best to pay attention after you first start vaping on it.
After time you will get better and better at noticing this. The danger is that your vaping burnt polyfill and cotton. Sure, you can say that it isn't that bad. But, how would you feel about smoking a cigarette filter? Certainly it isn't as dangerous but, you get my point.
Overall, if you EVER get a burnt flavor. Throw it away in the garbage. WHY? Read this thread. A lot of carto users, including me. Have contributed to this thread.

So, if it's not a dud (it will taste burnt immediately or it's DOA (dead on arrival)) then you will notice this either when you keep vaping when your carto is dry. OR after about 10-15ml and it starts to taste a bit "funky". That's what I found out after dissecting almost every carto within a period of a few months.
Since you have just begun vaping. I wanna give you some tips.
Using carto on REO:
1. With standard sized cartos (Boge LR 2ohm). Which holds 1ml of e-liquid. I would suggest pre-filling them for the best results. This will reduce your chances of getting a burning carto.
A. Drip Method
*Drip 25 (1ml) into your carto in 5 drop increments. You should give a few minutes for the juice to soak in every 5 drops that you drip. One way that most people find helpful to figure out if their cartos are filled. Is that a drop or two will drip out of the bottom of the carto connection. You can just wipe that off.
*After you finished filling it. Let it sit for 15-30 minutes. This is very important since it's not the filler material that you should be concerned about. It's the little piece or pieces of cotton that's wrapped around the coil. If those EVER get dry then you will have a burnt carto on your hands.
*Once you've waited for everything to be saturated. You can vape now.
B. Condom Method
*Instead of dripping 25 drops. Just use the little rubber cap that came with your carto and fill it up.
*Take your carto and slowing dunk it into the rubber cap. Threaded end first. You will notice that the juice is being pushed up through the airflow tube.
*Give it a few minutes rest before lowering the carto any further. This will keep it time to soak into the filler material.
*Again, after you've lowered it all the way. Let it sit there for 15-30 minutes.
*Take it out of the rubber cap. Dry it off with a paper towel and your done.
C. When you should feed it
* Ever 10-15 draws or when you notice a drop in flavor. The longer you vape the better you will get with this.
*******NOTE: Your taste buds WILL "die" for a few weeks. After you've vaped for a little bit. The reason for this is that they need time to recover from all the abuse they've been put through. When you were smoking.******************
D. Atty use
*If you use an atomizer with primer. Than I suggest thoroughly blowing it out from both sides to get rid of it. Or get some 1.8 ohm 510's or 306's from either http://www.avidvaper.com OR IkenVape Store. Which are quality atomizer/cartomizer vendors. They don't use any primer at all.
*The first thing you should do now is to prime your new atomizer
-drip 6 drops into it and let it rest for 10 minutes
*Afterwards, you can vape for a total of 5 hits or until you notice a drop in performance and flavor. If you ever taste a slight metallic flavor then refill it immediately. You'll get a surprise with the next hit you take
*Be sure to get 3-4 atomizers in rotation. It's a good idea to clean it after every bottle you go through. This will decrease the gunk that gets built up when you vape.
Hope this helps.
Good to see people are chiming in about juice quality. Whether you've got a Reo or a disposable 510, crap juice is crap juice. And you'll find a lot of variance in different juices as far as how they behave. I go to my favorite supplier because I find their juices take a long time to gunk up my gear, and it is very forgiving from device to device. That is I rarely have issues with flooding or lack of flow.
