Does what you're talking about sound like what I described? So why did
you post this second question rather than just ask where I found it?

Look for R' Yosi bei R' Bun's attempt to prove that R' Yosi bar Chanina
must hold like Shemuel, and R' Yehoshua ben Levi like R' Yochanan.
He then quotes R' Yochanan as saying someone who is maqdish his nechasim
and it includes qetores, it can be used. RYBC argues that he must hold
like RYBL who says qetores could be made in chol vessels. Because if
it had to made in qadosh vessels, how could this guy's private stash be
kosher for qetores? R' Hosheia disspells the linkage; it's possible R'
Yochanan is talking about someone from Beis Avtimas. Because Beis Avtimas
DID take the stuff home, and therefore he could have a private stash of
qetores that was made in the BHMQ's keilim.

Tir'u baTov!
