How to mimic "easy breath" on S mode Resmed aircurve 10?

How to mimic "easy breath" on S mode Resmed aircurve 10?
After long years of trials, i find my body responded best to the S-mode on Resmed aircurve 10
my settings are:
IPAP=EPAP=12
Easy-Breathe: ON
Ti Max: 2.0s
Ti Min: 0.6s
Trigger: low
Cycle: very High
Mask: full-face (F30)

Now that I'm on new cocktail of meds i would like to try Vauto and see if my body responds better with variable IPAP, the problem is i don't know how to mimic the "Easy-breath" feature on the S-Mode, when i look at the machine Realtime screen it shows: IPAP and EPAP = 12 and P.S =0.00 and the green progress bar is still on 12.
Now trying to put the same settings on Vauto IPAP=EPAP=12 and P.S=0.0 i find more resistance on exhale cycle, same in cpap mode, how can i replicate the S-mode in Vauto ?

Bonus question: is there another cheaper alternative to the Airvurve10 S-mode machine? that i can buy for traveling maybe?

thanks

Easy Breath is the default for the VAuto mode. The settings you listed are nothing more than a standard CPAP configuration. Since the EPAP equals the IPAP, Easy Breathe, Cycle, Trigger, Ti Min and Ti Max settings mean nothing.
