Mine did the same thing, turned out the whole wire ended up breaking. After the connector you can use regular stranded wire. I upped it to 20 gauge

How's that working out?

I was able to push the pins out and have desoldered them.
do i need to use a high temp solder (silver solder) or just a good rosin core solder.

If you want to lengthen it, I guess you should use heat resistant wire (that's what's recommended in guides I read) and use a small tube to crimp the new wire and resistor wire together and then put heatshrink around the connection. I haven't yet done this myself (still waiting for parts). Hotends.com recommends heat resistant cable with part number 8209K11 (McMaster).

the wire broke on the femail connector of the resister

I want to lengthen the wire do I have to use a spacific type
and are the connectors a standard crimp type.
