Some sort of control device is required. Most use a thermostat but some use a rheostat, or dimmer switch. Personally, I would only use a quality thermostat. As far as cords, it doesn't really matter but the fewer, the better. What you need to consider is the total wattage of the flexwatt and wattage limit of the thermostat.
Don't take this the wrong way, but based on your questions, you appear to need to do a lot more research on the use of flexwatt before attempting to use it. Please ask questions and describe how you intend to use it, as well as what sizes of flexwatt you intend to use. If not wired and used properly, it can be a significant fire hazard and your homeowners or renters insurance probably won't cover you if a fire results from this stuff. It is definitely a "use at your own risk" product.
Good luck,
Bart
