Orange Peel Texture over BIN Primer?
Newly done with Zero VOC primer and paint on top of new texture. Upon pulling masking tape everyting came off as one down to the BIN. I know it is down to BIN because it was tinted a different color. Should we not have put orange peel over BIN? Will I be lucky and with adequate drying time find that there will be no further peeling or unpleasantness? Please advise. Thankyou.

Welcome to the forums Tony!
Generally texture is applied before the primer. I don't recall ever applying texture over BIN but BIN is a hard sealer so the texture would dry on top of the primer and not suck into it at all. I think the biggest issue is the masking tape. The paint/texture created a bond between the tape and the wall. When you pulled off the tape, it continued to pull the texture off of the wall. If you had cut the bond between the tape and wall, the texture may not have peeled.
Any special reason you primed the wall with BIN?

Did you let the texture, primer or paint dry before removing the tape?
If so, I think Mark nailed it - tape has to be removed while the surface is still wet or you must cut along the edge of the tape/wall border.

Removed popcorn, old drywall stunk of cigs. After the taper was thru skimming and spotting we primed on his advice before texturing. The BIN was my idea to seal the cig smell. Texture was sprayed then another coat of primer before two finish coats of paint.

BIN is about the best primer sealer you can use.... but you already know that 
I've never done a lot of texturing over BIN [or any pigmented shellac primer] Because it seals the drywall so well it would prevent the texture from sucking into the drywall. I don't know if that would make for long term adhesion problems
Latex paints typically don't have total adhesion until they've had a week or so to cure. Based on the info you've given, I'd sand the exposed BIN with 100-120 grit sandpaper, smooth out any edges [if necessary] with joint compound and then retexture. Let dry a day or two - make sure all the gray is gone and then prime. Give the primer a day or so and then apply your top coat.
