In general, viffing was used at fairly slow speeds to use bleed air (through reaction ducts) to give monentary enhanced nose authority
Not what I understand. Viffing is deflecting the nozzles so that you get, temporarily, a small increase in g in a turn. The improvement is brief because the airspeed reduces, thus reducing wing lift and turn performance.
