Very rarely.
When I'm thinking about life-events, concepts, work, relationship, my future, how to do something, etc. my conception is similar to yours - I have different amorphous bubbles which periodically intersect themselves where a conjuction in their significance lies.
When, however, I am thinking about more..."immediate" things, such as for example when I am cycling and I am deciding which trajectory to take during a descent, or which road to take to get back home fastest, I think visually without any verbal interference - I simply have these 3-d models and "videos" of places which tend to direct me.
Finally, when I do maths I do think in what I think of as "words". It's the hardest form of thinking, but also the one that gives me the most enthralling results, IMHO.
