Full details

FAQs
Is the ink refillable?
The Wilko Popping Pen is designed as a disposable novelty item; the ink cartridge is not intended to be user-replaceable.
What happens if the string gets tangled?
Gently shake the pen while holding the switch to allow the spring mechanism to retract the tether properly.
Can children use this pen?
It is suitable for older children, but due to the small parts involved in the popping mechanism, it should be kept away from toddlers.
Is the pen heavy to hold?
No, it is constructed from lightweight plastic to ensure the popping mechanism remains easy to trigger.
Can I replace the topper if it breaks?
The topper is permanently attached to the internal spring mechanism and cannot be swapped out or repaired if broken.
Troubleshooting
The topper does not pop out when the switch is pressed.
Ensure the tether is not tangled inside the barrel and the switch is fully depressed.
The ink flow is intermittent.
Try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper for a few seconds to prime the ballpoint.
