A water-pipe freezing protection low power heater might do the job as
Jim pointed out.

Counter wound or bifilar wound nichrome wire on a suitable form might
work. You can find the nichrome wire in a toaster or electric heater.
If
the heater is, say, 2.2kW, then it's drawing about 10 Amp from 220V
main,
which implies that the resistance is around 22 ohms. If you can find a
smaller heater (higher resistance).. say, around 1/2 Amp at 220V (100W)
you'll be in the right ballpark (perhaps an aquarium heater?)
A solution of copper sulfate in water makes a great non inductive high
power resistor, but the resistance will change with temperature.
