Pull the gun apart after every session and clean it out(only takes 2 mins), lubricating the needle when it needs.
Get a compressor, and make sure it has enough PSI, a tank to eliminate pulsing due to piston movement and a regulator that will let you dial in the PSI you are looking for.
Run a moisture trap at the air gun and at the regulator(or a reg/trap in one), water in the air supply is the bane of the airbrush artist.
Thin paints, it should run down the edges of the container like skim milk.
Put a few drops of thinner for the type of paint you are using in the cup before a color change and blast it out. For the siphon feeds keep a quick blast bottle of thinner handy and put some of it through the brush between bottle changes.
Two airbrushes I would recommend would be the Iwata Revolution HP-CR and High Performance HP-C Plus(or HP-CP), the C Plus is for detail work and the CR is a good general purpose gun.
Learn double action from the start, you will be better off in the long run.

I love peanuts and salad with tabasco, especially on its way out. You are making me hungry, Mr. Adventures.
