My Nikon lenses only have two VR positions, on and off. I try to keep my VR off because I invariably forget to turn it off after I use it. A few years ago I was out photographing waterfalls on a beautiful autumn afternoon. I got home and all of my photos were useless because I had the VR on while using my tripod. I tried to console myself with the fact that I was out on a beautiful fall day, but it was a very hollow consolation.
I don't know what cameras you use. Today's Nikons (probably most brands) sense when they are on a tripods and act accordingly.
