I'm having a little bit of difficulty getting ABS to stick to the blue painter's tape. I do have a heated build plate on the way but I was wondering that, just in case, is there a specific gap that there should be between the tip and the build plate for the best adheasion without the plastic bunching up or smearing.

(Ignore that)

I'm using pla on a heated bed, so it may not be comparable, but I'm using about half the extruded filament diameter.

I don't think ABS sticks well to the blue painter's tape.

Yes. PLA would be a better material for blue tape.
