Maybe your click discs are not oriented right? If you want you can disassemble the Visual indicator housing and check the user manual on madheaters website. Mine clicks once on the second notch of visual indicator and once again on third. I usually heat to first click with tripple torch and i get very consistent results

The third is combustion in my case, if I go over the second I end up with black avb

I am a new user of the Tempest, and I use it exclusively with an IH
With the wand, the clicks depend on the glass bowl position, if I push it up till the end, I count ten seconds after the 2nd click, that the wand continues heating. Yesterday I reread the online manual, and pushed the glass bowl couple of millimeters down, this way there is no 2nd click at 280 Celsius setting.
However, this way works like the Anvil, i.e. finish the load in a long first draw, which produces huge vapor and then second draw produces way less vapor with burned taste.

I think you're quite right about positioning in the Wand (or where the 'pest is heated by any other method).
If the heating is only on the steel sleeve, then the heat has to conduct through the housing to heat up the disks so they'll click.
I believe that the indicator housing is steel too, so if the 'pest is not quite so far in the glass cup (depending on the position of the glass) it may be inducting the indicator housing and maybe even the disks themselves, causing them to click sooner, and quite possibly closer together (if not simultaneously).

I use mine with 320°C 23-26s (until light stop to flash), but I use a wpa and bubbler.
I have the first version without disc. You don't need it with the wand. Just count the flash.

Has anyone had issues using dhl for shipping? I ordered the tempest a bit ago and the delivery status has been stuck on processing through facility on usps for a few days now, i’m just wondering if this is normal or out of the ordinary for international shipments

That is standard operating procedure. Each of mine has paused for a bit at that transition.

This occurs with the DHL, which is not DHL express, I believe in EU DHL uses trucks for their economy shipments, but I am not sure. It takes around 5 working days though.

I have 2 caps. 1 of my caps clicks perfectly everytime. The other 1 clicks perfectly first hit, but takes 25 mins sometimes to get the second cool down click. If I do another bowl before that I believe I'm only getting the first click, since the other clicker didn't snap back.

I use a plastic tube filled with ISO, and then run it through the ultrasonic cleaner. It comes out sparkling!
It didn't completely get rid of the discolouration of the zirc balls though. 10 seconds with a torch brought them back to white
