I need a video
So this is without a fan, right? And you're looking for the flame to dive downward? Is this generally around table/counter height in a room? Are there general parameters where this elusive air flow happens?
Hopefully OP can use the info too and I'm not thread-jacking.

Hotel rooms have those nice big old bastards.
Take a chair or table whichever and lay your fruits down on thick paper.
Position in front of the heater/AC.
You're looking to trace the flame and see which way it blows to get a circle. You want it coming from the heater but also a little going back to the heater. A high-backed chair with a deep seat works great; it will kick some back at you and cause a back and forth flame when held directly over the fruits.
Slightly but noticeable that it's trying to go down the air current but enough that it flicks the other way a little too.
Then move it down to the chair and make sure it blows back to the heater.
Last step is using it over the top of a table/chair and make sure air is still moving about. That means the moist air does in fact have a way to escape.
Wish I could explain it better, but that's really it.
Don't forget to put the chair or table back, or light the place on fire. You'll be do more rearranging than using your lighter. A Zippo won't work.
And make sure they don't blow anything around.. don't want tiny caps all over the place.

Anytime! 
Edit: Oh. You might want to make sure it's going full circle and lighter/space test before putting down a giant flammable sheet of paper. You can then just shut it off, lay your fruits down, and slowly turn the fan speed up. If you have to you can just weigh the bag down. Starbucks and REI bags work wonders. Much easier than a lunch bag making things fly everywhere.
