No matter what I do the wicking material gets burnt at the coil. I tried moving the coil up down, more and less resistance coils. The juice must not be getting to the coil I guess. I've have two of them and have tried a couple of dozen times with the same results. I have other attys and don't have any of these issues.

Sounds like too much wick? Less is more with cotton and the kayfun even more so. More info please. Type of coil guage wire etc?
I'm no expert but it sounds like you may be using to much wick. Less is definitely more when building a Kayfun in my experience.
Here are two videos others and myself have found extremely helpful!

Another thought is perhaps the channels aren't made properly? Depends on the quality of your device which I'm assuming is a clone. There is certainly an art to wicking the KF. I'll give you some tips when I figure it out myself 
Sorry folks, I was in a hurry to leave work. Yes it is a kfl clone, the one with the air hole on the side. I have two others with the air hole on the bottom and haven't had any problems. Using 28g, 8 wraps micro coils. I have tried cotton over a two dozen times, very little, I can slide the cotton back and forth. Tried some other stuff that came with it, silica perhaps? Same deal, I have two of them and both do the same thing.
At first I thought maybe the coil was to close to the bottom so I built a bunch more and tried that, no change. Moved down a little, no help, same thing.
I'm going to take them completely apart and give them a good cleaning, since they have been recoiled and juiced so many times in the last week.
I also have a Aqua and a Fogger 4+ that wick with no problem. Going to try one more time before just buy something else.

Just to make things more confusing...I've had burning problems because I didn't use enough cotton! When I opened it up, the coil had burned juice on it but the cotton was fine.
I stopped twisting the cotton and started rolling it instead so there is much less now. The problem is I just got these the same time I started wicking differently. Maybe I should try doing one of each and see if it makes a difference.
Well, that was my take. I was being very careful to avoid too much cotton and made a very thin wick. It's tough to get it just right. I've had the best luck making the wick a little longer and sticking it down there at an angle across and over the inlet grooves, so it's kind of sitting over the top of them but not touching them.
I've got one almost ready to go with very little cotton, but I've tried this before. Going to juice it up, position the wicks and put the chimney on. However I done this a dozen times and got the same results.
I run Boba's Bounty in mine, it doesn't get much thicker than that. No matter what, I do get some burning every now and then, like, maybe one out of four or five tanks. I pretty much have to change wicks every tankful of that or the coil gets all nasty.
For experimental purposes, I'm running a tank that I added just to touch of distilled water to and it does seem to have thinned the liquid up a tiny bit.

Good luck!
One other thought, give it a pull or three without hitting the button to pull a little extra juice up to the wicks. Sometimes I'll give it a little pull with my finger over the air hole, too, but go easy or it'll flood.

I have a kfl clone that just won't work right I gave up on it my other 3 work perfectly.... it's a black v3 from custommodcreation not sure if I got a dud or all the v3 black from them suck I really really love the ehpro v2 this thing is build like the authentic and performs like it
