Noting him vbetting somewhat thinly (?) is valuable (which street was it?, Board texture?) as you can make more correct river decisions. Bluffraising air is an option, but mind what you´re representing, usually you just cant go ahead and randomly bluff raise people just b/c you saw them once vbetting a non-nitty range.

Have you seen him vary his opening size based on hand strength, such as only 3xing AA?

I'm assuming you check/called, in which case (board texture is still important) we can come to some more conclusions.

We know his flop calling range isn't terrible strong (depending on board texture). Given this, and knowing whether he is willing to fold those hands to further action or not, we can make more accurate turn/river decisions.

Say he calls the flop with a fair amount of marginal hands, floats, etc, and is capable of folding to subsequent turn/river action. Well in that case, on the turn his range is somewhat wide. Therefore, we can increase the frequency with which we double barrel bluff, as the range that he is folding to a turn bluff likely makes the bluff +EV. This would be different than if he folded marginal hands on the flop, and didn't float. Then his turn range would be stronger, and therefore, less likely to fold, making a double barrel bluff less profitable.

When he bets those marginal hands on the turn when checked to (board texture relevant), we can decide that his turn betting range when checked to isn't incredibly strong either, and therefore also expand our turn check/calling range. We can take some of the marginal hands that we would normally c/f the turn with because he is expected to check back his mid pair, underpair type hands with, and instead check/call because he is betting those hands.
