While Petty and Lesser Soul Gems will recharge your gear a small amount, Grand Soul Gems are where you'll see the greatest boost. You can even use them to cure vampirism. However, Grand Soul Gems can take on two forms: empty and filled gems. While you need filled Soul Gems for enchanting, the Vampire Cure quest requires empty ones.
