You actually have to pull the string a bit sideways and friction hook it with the fingertip skin. Don't simple just lift the finger straight up.
That's why it's called a "pull-off" rather than a "lift-off" . Start with the fingertip a little towards the bass side of the fingerboard
so you don't end up muting the next more treble string.
