As long as you've lost life this turn, this creature has flying and vigilance. Whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. When this creature dies, put its counters on target creature you control.

Essence Channeler’s last ability puts all counters that were on Essence Channeler onto the target creature, not just its +1/+1 counters.

If Essence Channeler is dealt lethal damage at the same time that you gain life, it won’t receive a counter from its second ability in time to save it.

In some unusual cases, you may end up putting the appropriate counters on more than one permanent. For example, if you control The Ozolith when Essence Channeler dies, you’ll put the appropriate number of each kind of counter onto both The Ozolith and the target creature.
