I don't know. I stopped doing them as they give me tennis elbow :(
You're likely using your forearms too much. I suppose you could do pullups with a band to help work up to it. That's how I started, also having elbow issues. Also could have to do with your grip.
I still can't do many pullups (like only 4 or 5 before my arms totally take over) because of shoulder mobility so that's what I'm working around.
Also a huge part of pullups is core engagement and if you let yourself go limp at all you'll feel so much heavier.
