If I have the air pushed down but not pulled back I still get a faint paint flow coming out. I am very thorough when I clean my brush and the needle is undamaged. I am using a iwata hp-cs btw. Thx for any help.
Have a look through the troubleshooting section, there are threads with exactly your symptoms, almost all users claim 'I cleaned my brush thoroughly but.....' it part of the initiation process 
its almost always a dirty nozzle or a fleck of dried paint stopping the needle seating properly.
What paint are you using?

Most of the time it is a warn out or cracked nozzle. The other more preferable is the needle is not set fully forward.

Createx. I'm in the process of switching over to the wicked colors variation as I like it much more. I just have alot of the regular createx. What's the best way to clean the brass tip? (Forgive me for not knowing the actual name but the one you have to take off with the tiny wrench) I've read the best way to seal that is with beeswax so does that mean you have to re-seal that after every session? I can't seem to find that oring for sell. Sorry that's alot of ?sHave a look through the troubleshooting section, there are threads with exactly your symptoms, almost all users claim 'I cleaned my brush thoroughly but.....' it part of the initiation process

The brass tip is the nozzle, be gentle with it.
The best way i've found is to get some restorer (by Createx and usable across all variants of createx and autoborne)
get a small glass jar and put some restorer in it, pop the nozzle in it and make sure all the air is out, move it with a cocktail stick if you have an air bubble. leave it for an hour, remove carefully and use a long bristled artist brush and work the inside of the nozzle to dislodge anything stubborn.
flush with water, reassemble the brush and give it a rinse through with some water. if you have a dark surface behind the airbrush when you spray the water you will be able to tell if its spraying properly, it should be a nice conical shape, no spitting/spluttering, if not, soak the nozzle again, make sure the needle and aircap are also spotless.
I've never needed to seal the nozzle thread, just dont overtighten it and strip the threads when you do it up. It doesnt need to be super tight, just airtight
You'll get less blockages as you get better at appropriate reductions.
