Can anyone help me with some airbrush questions?

I got an airbrush kit for Christmas which consists of a small air compressor, the airbrush and a set of Createx paints.

There is either a small jar or a metal "cub" that attaches to the bottom of the airbrush. The jar works great, however the metal cup, when attached, seems to tilt about 45 degrees forward. Therefore, you can not move the airbrush down without spilling the paint. I've noticed from some YouTube videos, a lot of people are using an airbrush which has the metal cup on TOP. Can someone please tell me what the difference is between the two? As I said the jar works fine but it looks easier to use the metal cup if you only want to use a small amount of paint. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

With the type of airbrush you have you can't tilt them you have to have your work strait up and keep the gun level and just move your hand up and down the canvas. You can always go out and buy one with the paint container on the top and use your compressor for that if you wanted to .
But for now just keep it level and move you hand without tilting your hand . Keep it strait as possible.

the cup probably is a friction fit and can be rotated slightly to allow you to tilt the airbrush.
