I have now tried this method with perfect results. I'm going to make another batch next week and I document the process here but thought I'd throw up the guide which I used in case anyone else wanted a blast.... I did this with PG btw... didn't bother trying with VG.

Guide #1 - Using Dry herb
For the first method, you'll need herbal product (completely dried), propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin, a blender or food processor and a fine filter such as a muslin bag or a super fine coffee filter. These two types of filters will produce an odorless product. The more herbal particles left in the final liquid, the more it will smell when vaporized. Also, you want to make sure and get USP Food Grade propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin.
Now that you have all of your goodies together, it's time to begin macerating the herb. You're basically going to make an herbal smoothy with your herbs and PG or VG. Just don't add too much herb. You want to expose as much of the surface area of the herb as possible but you don't want to add so much herb that it becomes thick and gummy. You'll want the mixture to be not much thicker than your original base (PG or VG). This way, the most possible extraction of essential oils will occur. Blend the s**t out of it until you get super fine particles. After blending, let sit at least 6-10 days at room temperature. You should stir or shake the mixture if possible each day. Both PG and VG act like alcohols and will extract the organic compounds from the herb and hold it in solution.
After waiting 6-10 days, filter your juice with your muslin bag or a super fine coffer filter. Dilute as needed if too strong. It can be warmed if needed to aid in filtering. Keep temperature below 110f.
And that's it. From there I filled an empty pen and vaped away with effects much better than I expected and zero odor.
There's always a way

Great info. Thank you..
How much herb to juice did you use? Maybe 1 part herb to 1 part juice? I guess we could also use keif too. I have a bunch of herb that I don't want to smoke so maybe I will dry it well, shake it out, add 1 part keif to 2 parts vg and let it sit for a week or better.
What do you think about using store bought ejuice and just adding the mj? This would improve taste.
I guess I could use co2 oil also. That stuff is so strong.. I ate a rice sized dab the other day and was really "medicated".. too much so
I have to say that I like the o.pen. It's pretty cheap to use.. Kind of weak for some people though.
