Ok so while I'm waiting for my gravity feed brush to come in I'm using my siphon dual action and I've got the paint thinned to the consistency of skim milk but sometimes nothing comes out. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Not real sure how to adjust my compresser either since it didn't have directions :-( ill link the model in just a second (I'm on my phone)

You twist the plastic knob on top of the moisture trap to adjust the air up and down. Honestly it could be a lot of things causing your problem, but without knowing specifics id say it has something to do with quality. that is a very poor quality airbrush and its a siphon feed, any little vacuum leak in your brush will affect paint flow. Plus the little preset screws on those suck, they keep the needle open and if it sits for even a short period of time you can get some clogs from the paint drying in the nozzle.

It may be that you aren't cleaning out the paint well enough. My airbrush, along with most others must be swabbed and sprayed out with water thoroughly before storage.

I guarantee you that I'm not really as smart as the test says:
