When your saying drip liquid on the coil do you mean in through the top? Last time I tried that it gurgled??
I've done it both ways--from the top and from the sides. Nothing ever gurgled. The idea is to wait a bit afterwards to make sure that the eliquid has fully saturated the wrap that surrounds the coil and the wick. I only do it with a new coil because all is bone dry inside.
Burnt hits indicate wicking problems--for some reason the juice doesn't get to the coil fast enough and you're vaping fumes from a dry hot coil. Possible remedies:
1. Take a couple of gentle puffs without activating the battery--this will force the juice into the atomizing chamber.
2. Lower your voltage--especially with a new coil. There is a bit of a break-in period. Don't power vape, chain vape, over vape.
3. The tank may not be assembled properly, the coil may not be seated properly, a gasket somewhere may be off. If necessary, open the tank and check if everything is tight and snug inside.
4. Do not over tighten the tank onto the battery (it should be just make electrical contact, no more) as this may push the center pin into the atty and cause poor wicking, leaks and other unfortunate events.
Good luck.
