Thanks leaning toward the resistor method. Not sure I want wires hanging all over the place knowing how clumsy I can be.

'moanin, Tibs. Pass the coffee!
My 2nd KF v5.2 (styled) arrived yesterday after 8 days from acceptance. I installed a rather small 3 mm id Clapton consisting of two strands of 29 gauge Dicodes 30 wrapped with 36 gauge Kanthal......pretty good.
Dicodes 30? did you mean nichrome 80? I tried a thin wire Clapton ( 2x twisted 28 wrapped in 32 Kanthol) in mine also, found it was getting too hot for my liking 
I'm running a simple round wire in both now

Oh, here we go, talking over Willy's head again.... 
ETA: Now I'll have to google Dicodes 30...

Interesting how one company lists # as iron content while another lists Ni content.
Yep, it can be confusing. Zivipf's NiFe48 is actually NiFe52 alloy (According to internationally accepted naming conventions). As long as its tcr is close I'm fine with whatever they want to call it.
So what's in a name? A lot if you want your product to sell to people who need to feel secure when sharing product info. China could use an American consultant when naming their products for sure. I mean, "Cigpet Eco rda"? Surely they could have found a more cool name than that. And what does the word "William" etched on the sleeve of the Eco mean? No one knows for sure. Too bad, it probably would have been listed in the top 5 flavor chuck'n RDAs of 2017 if it had been given a better name. If they had named it "Junk" or "Trash" it would have sold better

Back in the early days of the Japanese rice burners being imported the service repair manuals where tough to read, like ever other paragraph there would be a sentence that made no sense, "Disconnect ball joint on lower control arm, johnny ran up the hill, then remove the axle ." Finally got better but it took a few years until they found better translators. I don't recall the German manuals ever having that problem.

That hilarious! I guess by '85 they got better. It's still a little difficult to read my '85 Kubota tractor service manual, but doable. Oh, accept for the hydraulics section, that part is a mess.

doesn't everybody read german?
I'm in the process of getting my ducks in a row for swapping out the hard drive in the wife's two year old HP laptop with the new SSD drive I got for her. I already doubled her RAM up to eight GB, she probably wouldn't have capped the four that was in it with what she uses it for but it was only $30 for the matching factory RAM so why not, it has Win 10 64-bit.
The PNY SSD drive is the same one I used in my desktop for the C drive, it comes with a limited version of cloning software from Acronis. I didn't use it for my computer because I was doing a clean upgrade with a new Win 7 disk and I had built it from a new motherboard on up so this cloning is new to me.
Anyone have experience using this Acronis software? I've been reading the HP instructions on the steps to follow when cloning the drive for an SSD upgrade and it's conflicting with the steps Acronis instructs, and HP recommend using Acronis so I'm confused. I don't want to screw things up and create a problem, like a lot of computers these days her hard drive is coded to the mother board and/or BIOS.

Can't help there, Willie. I upgraded to SSD a while back and used Samsung drives. The cloning went very fast and very smoothly with their software. DO be careful because it will delete the source files as it goes, don't want to make a booboo.
booboo, that's my fear... HP won't give support once outside warranty, well unless your willing to pay for it. I've been doing a lot of searching on HP website but it's far from easy to find answers. Some of the help links are broken, some of the pdf help files are many years old and I don't trust those because things change so quickly.
HP says to create the restore disks (or to a USB drive) first but your only allowed one shot, why one time I don't understand, if it fails I'm screwed, well again they offer restore disks for $$$
HP recommends using Acronis but the free "limited" Acronis version says nothing about creating restore disks at all, they say first create a backup image file to a USB or second drive. Then under that there is a wide variety of choices from daily backup's of files you pick to a complete drive image including all partitions (that I know I want) but then there are yet other choices like making the image bootable (??) include moving the Acronis software to the image (??) but it doesn't tell you which is best or correct for this application. Once the backup image is made then they say to make the clone, again more choices on settings but not clear on which is best for this application or just what the end results will be. And because it's a free limited version there's no customer support, unless you take the pop-up offer to "buy full version now at a discount." 
I'm sure to IT folks all this would be a walk in the park, they'd know what all these options mean and would wiz right through it but if I screw it up the wife's joy of thinking her computer is going to be a lot faster will turn to anger if I tell her, Sorry but I screwed up your computer and you can't use it until I spend money to fix it..... Plus I'll be reminded of it every now and then until the day I die... Oh well, got a lot more research to do, thought it'd be a lot easier then this. If I can get a wrench on it I can fix it in my sleep, not so much with some of this tech stuff.
