Yeah, I've crafted a whole bunch of fortify enchantment potions, makes enchantments 100% stronger for 30 seconds.

what is your alchemy skill?

I would like to know this as well. I highly doubt it, but would be cool.

when I make potions of enchanting I only get 4% increase. I have found a few 15% ones, but that's still really low. how do you get that % to increase? is it levels and perks? or is there something to do with ingredients?

+100% fortify enchantment potions don't exist.

I've got 100 alchemy, all the alchemy perks, a set of gear that adds another +60% to alchemy, and my enchantment potions cap at +25%.

And I've tried every single ingredient combination - have the taster perk that reveals all four effects from each ingredient.

My experience also suggests there's a hard cap on each potion. No matter how much extra gear I put on, I can never go above a certain potion strength.

My smithing and archery potions cap at 100%, and my enchantment and magic resist cap at 25%, resist elements cap at 75%. Once the cap is reached, you can go no higher.

And no potions never stack. My restore health potions also fortify health by 89 points, and there have been fights I've been drinking a lot. If they stacked I'd quickly wind up at 1000 health, which has never happened.

Sorry, I was thinking of smithing, not enchanting. :P

Enchanting caps at 29%, but it is possible to get 37% potions. Most resists (magic, frost etc) cap at 85%, and using the same method to create 37% fortify enchantment potions it's possible to create 147% fortify smithing potions.

Fair enough. Not so sure I want to put so many points into crafting skills, though... Right now +20% to light armour seems better than +20% to enchanting power.

Especially given that the whole point of the extra enchanting power is to give more bonuses to light armour and so on...

Enchanting is also such a pain in the **** to get up. Need soul gems which take a while to gather, then need to enchant daggers one by one.

Pretty sure the games glitching out, My game has occasionally done that with things with snow on it. Stuff will turn up bright blue in parts. A white snow forest with vivid fluro blue trees is something to see, I tried to take a picture of it in steam but the game just froze and crashed. I was dissapointed when I found out it was a glitch, the extra colour was very welcoming from bland ones we have atm.

Check it out, a cupboard from 2006 making a cameo in skyrim.

You can use it in conjunction with the FXAA Injector as well, and there are a couple more comparison screenshots in the user submitted images section of that link.
