Here's the situation.My Enchanting skill is at 90 with 5/5 perks.I have earlier disenchanted a ring which provided me 20+ health.So, i got a 20+ health enchantment after disenchanting it.As my enchanting is now 100 % stronger, it gives me 40+ health when used with grand soul.
My Question is: If i had waited more and disenchanted any armor of 40+ health enchant on my first disenchant,Have I got 80+ health now?

If Yes, then how can i delete my enchantment of 20+ health base value?

I believe, might be wrong, but when you disenchant an item, in this case the item had a 20+ health enchantment, that you only get the ability to add the health enchantment. When enchanting an item, it depends on the amount of bonus you have to enchantings through rings, necklaces, other apparal and potions. That coupled with the type of soul gem used will increase the amount of your enchantment.

Gemini is correct (as I believe), if you disenchant a 2 point health item then it's the same result as disenchanting a 20 point health item. So, for the sake of argument if you had both items in your inventory you would want to destroy the 2 point one because then you could sell the 20 point one (if it was worth more money).

on a side note, from my understanding (still working on this) with certain potions and certain enchanting gear you can boost the enchantment even more. (just like Gemini said).

The only fortify enchantment items are potions.

More accurately stated, anything less than a Grand Soul gem containing a Grand Soul will decrease the amount of your enchantment. Using a Grand Soul gem with a Grand Soul gives you an enchantment multiplier of 1. Using any smaller soul gives you a fractional multiplier.

I don't know the exact numbers. Just going by what I've seen when enchanting.
Throw a bunch of gear on to increase the enchentmant and you get on level of enchantment.
Say for example, that you start at a 15% bonus. You add on the apparel/gear and it's then 16%.
Then you start the enchantment and you first check with a Petty Gem (presuming with a similar level soul). This gives you a 17% bonus. Uncheck that and try a Common Gem, and you'd get 18%. Keep going up to Grand or Black Soul and the precent increase. Add a potion too and you get a little bit more.

Hope that explains better what I was trying to say.
Cheers.

You don't even need to use the Blackstar to make a lot of money off of the Banish enchantment. It's not only the highest valued weapon enchantment, it also has the least decrease in price based on the soul gem used. I can sell petty soul Fortify Enchantment daggers for over 800.

Since merchants don't normally have much over 1,000 gold and I don't have Speech perks to increase the amount of gold held by merchants I only use the Black Star for enchanting apparel (I haven't learned the underwater breathing enchantment yet).

Throw a bunch of gear on to increase the enchentmant and you get on level of enchantment.
Again, you can't throw on gear to increase the enchantment. If you mean wear items that will increase your enchantment skill there are no such items. The factors that affect enchantment strength are Enchantment Skill, Enchantment Perks, Fortify Enchantment Potions and the size of the soul used. If you mean increase the enchantment on an already enchanted item you can't do that either.

Dagmar, You are right of course. I think I was confusing myself (and everyone else) and thinking of Alchemy in regards to wearing items.
Potions of enchanment are what I was thinking about more than likely.
sorry for the confusions.
