Sorry if my explanation is a bit long...
But nothing I searched turned results..

So happily vaping on my 7-22 and aerotank mega..
Fully charged battery, full tank, new coil.
1.5ohm resistance to the coil, vaping at 9.5watts
Normally this is just fine for me for the juice I use most of the time.

When pressing the button on the 7-22 the LED display lights up, shows you the current power output, atomizer resistance, and there is a picture of a battery bar that shows it's charge level.
the battery display also shows the battery drain. ( The power being used while the button is held down?)

Anyway, up until a few days ago the battery drain being displayed was what appeared to be normal. Just a slight portion of the battery power would be used, so a segment of the display would go away while the button was being pressed.
More recently though, when I press the button and engage the battery, the drain gauge depletes almost the entire display.

|----------| <-- imagine that is the battery display when fully charged

|-------- | <-- battery drain display when button pressed (normal)

|-- | <-- this is what the battery gauge started doing when button is pressed a few days ago.


Even with lower wattage (down to 7w) the battery drain gauge still goes much much farther than it did when i got it.
The 7-22 is still seeming to function fine, good production, not overheating, not shorting or turning off...
Even though it seems to be working.. Should I be worried about this? is the battery drain gauge spiking how it has been, a precursor to some kind of issue?
