Rolling Bin on a remodel

I've been painting for decades and now my daughter is remodeling her first house, which had pets and smoking damage. She wants everything sealed before the topcoat, so I'm breaking out the Bin. I've sprayed it before but I've never rolled it through multiple rooms. What roller naps do you all rely on to get through without constant reloading?
 
I'm in LA and helped my niece fix up a house that had smoke damage. BIN worked really well. I used a three eighths inch microfiber roller and it held enough primer so I didn't have to dip it too often. It went on smooth and didn't get gunky like thicker rollers sometimes do. Just move fast and keep windows open, BIN dries fast and the smell is strong.

Thanks for the rundown! I used a three eighths inch microfiber roller like you mentioned, and it held up well through 2 bedrooms and a hallway. The coverage was even and I didn't have to reload often, which kept the pace steady. I kept the windows open and ran a box fan to push the fumes out. My daughter said the difference in smell was night and day compared to when she first moved in. Have you ever tried a second coat with BIN or found that one pass was enough for smoke-heavy rooms? I plan to finish the living room this weekend and aim to complete the primer stage by early next week.
