Just reset Aircurve to factory default settings...they are...Mode: S, IPAP: 10, EPAP:4, Ti max: 2, Ti min:0.3, Rise: min, Trigger: med, Cycle: med.
Tried it out for a few breaths, and this is what I noticed:
Inhale breath was very punchy and was too quick for me
Inhale got cut off too soon
Any suggestions for those things?
Thanks.
The big difference there is rise time, you need to turn EasyBreathe on, because it's on in the AirSense models.

WHICH Aircurve do you have? I know it's not the ASV, or the iVAPS, but it might be the S, ST or VAuto.

"Factory defaults" are different on all the different machines, so you can't really go by that. you've set yourself up for a PS of 6, which is like an EPR of 6, (in the opposite direction) so that's a big difference.

Don't mess with TiMin, that's only for people with lung diseases, you can play with TiMax (which will lengthen the time the machine allows you to stay at IPAP) without screwing up your breathing. same with trigger and cycle, they're fairly subtle.

Did someone say my name three times?
Sorry. I was trying to turn on the bat signal but got my Keaton movies mixed up.
