Yes, I think I mentioned "slightly" increase rather than a mayor increase.
I have measure this on another nixie tube and came to the following voltages: 0.5mA : 120V 1.0mA : 125V 1.5mA: 130V 2.0mA: 133V 3.0mA: 140V 4.5mA: 150V His tube current will increase from 2mA to about 7.5mA, so according to the above measurements, the increase in tube voltage will be playing a role.
