I open every single token of every single type immediately. Sometimes I'll take breaks from PvP climbs or PvE clears to open tokens.

Opening tokens is fun, and I enjoy fun.

Even the spicy tokens? Those are the only ones I hoard and pull when I want the 4* or need some health packs. I feel like you're guaranteed to get riso everyday if you don't hoard lol.

Even those! I think they give boosts? I dunno. It's still fun!

I go until I hit 300 pulls and then empty the vault completely over a couple of days. With ascension now in full swing, I will gladly take all the extra levels for 2* and 3* that I can get. I still have need for the ISO as well, so I will gladly clear it every 3 or months.

Is this very different than pulling as you go? Doesn't feel like it.

There is a slight difference, mostly having to do with probabilities. When you pull as you go, you have a 7.9% chance of getting a particular reward by the end of the week. So, if one cares for a particular reward, one is unlikely to get it; statistically, one would get that reward once by the time one would have collected 300 tokens, but, since each week’s odds are independent of each other, one could have unlucky runs. By hoarding and pulling all 300 over the week, you are guaranteed to get each reward for that week.

Cuts both ways ... you're also "guaranteed" to get each item only once.

If not emptying the whole thing in one go ... any variation short of that ... you will experience hot streaks and dry spells—and such assessments are entirely in the eye of the assessor—but silly humans overemphasize perceived negatives in their assumptions about what will happen, and in their memories of what has happened.

Fair enough. I actually do stop as soon as I get the rewards I want and not empty the whole thing at once. Just wanted to offer the slight difference betwixt the two strategies.
