You can clean them, there's tons of videos on you tube on how I'm sure there's a few videos on this forum under tutorials. I've cleaned a few of mine it's not hard. To try out new flavors I've started using cartomizers they are cheap enough to throw away after you use them, I've gotten a few and taste my new juice I think I got a pack of 5 for around 3 dollars (can probably find them cheaper online). That way you're not really commited to a full clearomizer just to try them and if you decide to put them up to try later you haven't wasted much.
